* Notes:

- Not the best workout in the world and my legs are crushed.  I'm seriously considering that I may slowly be falling into another "dark times" as gains have slowed and fatigue along with soreness has increased dramatically.  Additionally, my hip is starting another bout of aches and pains -- does it ever end?

- I tried a squat combination this morning which was brutal.  More so, due to the fact that my legs were sore from the previous day's squat workout.  I though by performing a squat complex I would auto-regulate the amount of weight used and I was thoroughly wrong.  Although, I only managed to squat up to 170kg, the previous sets weren't a walk in the park.  Regardless, I enjoyed the challenge in a very sick and twisted way and look forward to trying other combinations to help me break out of this plateau.

- Almost closed the Captain of Crush 2.5.  Narrowly missed by less than 1/16 of an inch.  I need to work on that final crushing finish.  This too shall fall soon.  Very Soon!
