* Notes:

- Low back pain plus hanging inverted in the "batman" religiously four times a day for one week equals 185kg back squat.  Can't explain it but it works and somehow, I managed to squat 185kg.  Who knew?

- Push presses were an abomination!  I can tell that my training has definitely lacked in the push press department.  I couldn't for the life of me push press 115kg!  This is depressing, because my current PR was 127kg!  What the hell?  Two subpar days on the platform with the snatches and push presses.  Piss!
