* Notes:

- Slightly "off " today.  My left knee is aggravating me and it made the squats feel a little weird, because I could feel myself shifting towards my right leg to compensate.  Nevertheless, I got up to 160kg for a single -- not bad with a funky knee.

-  The push presses were going extremely well until I got to 90kg.  I think it's more of a mental block at this point, because the subsequent attempts went well.  Next week, I'll aim for 92.5kg or 95kg.  A smaller increase may be the remedy -- I'll just have to wait and see.
