* Notes:

- Took it relatively easy today; except, I did venture past my planned 100kg push press -- up to 110kg.  It felt like a metric ton!  I definitely need to cut the increase back to 5kg when reaching 100kg in this particular exercise.

- The back squats went well.  I didn't go ultra heavy nor did I push the volume up.  Instead, I maintained some semblance of moderate exertion and capped my efforts at 155kg.  I'll push higher in the coming weeks but since it's my deload week, I opted to staying conservative.
