* Notes:

- Quick workout due to the baby waking up prematurely from her nap.  I feel like complete shit!  95kg felt unbelievably heavy and my legs feel gummy!  I have absolutely no drive out of the hole.  What's going on?  The clean recovery doesn't seem to be working like I had planned.  What else is there to do?  I'm stumped!

117.5 x (2)2 (4:19:275)

* Notes:

- Another attempt to get some volume in; however, it was abruptly interupted by the little one.  Can't a guy get a break?  Speed is king and I'm keeping my front squats relatively moderate in weight focusing more on the speed of the bar.  Trying my best to explode out of the hole.  I'll try to continually add 2.5kg each successive workout and hopefully the speed will stick permanantely -- especially at weights in excess of 160kg.  Nevertheless, I got up to 140kg and rushed two doubles at 117.5kg and called it a workout.
