Notes: 90 seconds between second round giant sets.  Rested 90 seconds between the last 3 top sets of the main work.  This was a big moral victory for today, as 240lbs has always been that looming number for me on press, so the fact I could hit it at this bodyweight, on a trap bar (which I tend to underperform on) with the fatigue generated from this program shows me how well my strength is holding up where it counts.  I still had a little bit left in the tank, but they were grindy enough sets.  The groin wasn't a factor today, so the healing continues.

Still a big fan of having the weighted dips back in the program.  I'd forgotten how much I cared for them as a movement.  Just seems to make everything stronger.

Got my drinkable egg whites yesterday.  Just tried them in my post workout shake.  1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 cup fairlife skim milk and some protein powder.  It's like a milkshake.  Very frothy and thick.  I tasted the egg whites plain beforehand, and they only have the slightest hint of A flavor, and it's not "eggy".  No slime factor.  All in all, I'm a fan.  I'll have to make some fridge/freezer space and do a big order in the future.
