Notes: Lot going on here.  First off, I'm going to have AM and PM weights just to make my life easier.  If I train in the afternoon, I'll work with 566, and if I train in the morning it's 516.  I know improvement on one means improvement on another.  Secondly, I'm using my warm-ups to get a better feel with mixed grip axle.  It took 2 attempts for 426, but on the first one I didn't chalk up.  It wasn't super comfortable, but I have about 3 months to improve, which is a HUGE amount of time compared to most shows.  Brought back the timed DOH holds because they've always been helpful, and with an axle it's absolute murder.

Notes: Was beat after yesterday's yoking, so swallowed my pride and worked with less than 400.  It's for the best; I need to earn that weight again.  This was still plenty brutal.  I banged my right knee on the stair rail about a week ago and it's still pretty tender, so it keeps showing up in these workouts.
