* Notes:

- Fairly good workout but I had to make a modification due to a torn callus on my hand.  As such, I couldn't perform the power clean + front squat + push press/jerk complex that I had planned; instead, I opted to play it safe and do some front squats and follow with push presses.  The plan worked surprisingly well, yet the front squats weren't as easy as I'd hoped.  The final front squat at 165kg wasn't a walk in the park but I did successfully lift the weight.

- Push presses went well but I had absolutely no expectations, because I haven't done any since May 8th.  This is a significant amount of time and I wasn't sure exactly how well the weights would move, but they weren't as difficult as I had anticipated.  I ended the day with 110kg which matched my previous best!
