Notes: Slightly longer than just 12 deep breaths at the end.  Spent a little bit of time draped over the bar feeling sorry for myself.  But, once again, the method proves stupidly effective.  What's crazy is how light the weight starts to feel as I progress week to week.  First week of trying this, 410lbs was a monumental effort to unrack, and now I fly out of the rack for the topset.  Definitely getting comfortable handling heavier weights.

Lower back pump is insane.  Most likely a sign of technique falling apart under fatigue.

Worth noting that this program usually destroys my left knee (the one I had surgery on), but so far I'm pretty painfree with it.  Wondering if some of the stabilizers have built up over time.  To this day, I still struggle with things like 1 legged squats with that side, but it's definitely gotten better over time.

Cut the shrugs out for today.  May throw them in to the bench workout tomorrow.
