* Notes:

- Even with an aggravated hip, I'm pushing on -- slowly.  Nothing spectacular to report; except, I've drastically cut my volume down by approximately 50%.  I plan on continuing in this path until I gain some relief in the hip.  Further, I've decided to perform the classic lifts intermittently and focus more on front squats.  My reasoning is two fold:

1.  Due to the dynamic nature of the classic lifts, I feel it compromises my hip stability and increases the likelihood of further exacerbating my condition.

2.  Front squats have significant carry over into the clean, and -- at least for me -- it has a natural regulatory component, because I'm unable to perform the movement with heavy loads compared to a back squat.  Therefore, I'm going to stick to front squats and occasionally sprinkle in a snatch and clean and jerk.  I'll keep you posted on my progress.
