* Notes:

- Superb day on the platform with the squats and paused push presses.  Initially, I felt rather cloudy (mentally) and gummy (physically) but after a good warm up, things progressed very well.  Ended the squats at 150kg and got plenty of volume to boot!  Plus the paused push presses seemed easier with the addition of a pause, which required more effort and focus on maintaining an upright posture. I'm very please with today's results!
