* Notes:

-  Nothing overly spectacular today but it's another day in the books.  The back squats felt rather slow today as my left hip is still giving me hell -- and I'm giving hell back.  I've been diligently stretching, mobilizing, and mashing the hell out of my hip, hip flexors, glutes, and anything else that may help, but there is still a nagging irritation that lingers (not to mention the constant popping).  Damn, I wish it felt like my right hip -- well lubed and pain free!

- Tried something different with the squats today.  I made 20kg jumps from 110kg and decreased the number of repetitions by one.  Eventually, waving back and forth to make an attempt at 190kg.  Good idea, bad idea -- in retrospect -- bad idea, as I got stapled with 190kg.  After reveiwing the video - I should have made this lift!  DAMN!  Regardless, it made me realize that I'm now taking attempts at or very near my 1RM. This program is WORKING!
