* Notes:

- Started the workout fully intent on knocking out some power jerks, but after warming-up, it just wasn't clicking well.  The groove was rusty!  Why power jerk you may ask?  Well, my left hip, which is also my lead leg, is inflamed and I wanted to revisit the idea of power jerking to give the hip a break.  Instead, it was a complete bust.  I just wasn't as driven to drop under the weight.  In other words, I was being a hesitant pussy!

- So, I decided to take the advice of Coach John Broz.  If your lifts aren't going well -- do more squats.  Surprisingly, I managed to grind out 175kg for a single.  This is absolutely unexpected because 160kg felt like 260kg this morning!  Anyway, I cut the workout short to only 20 reps but it's better than nothing.
