Notes: 90 seconds rest between giant sets, rested long enough to change plates on the main work.  1 minute rest before conditioning work.  This was an awesome workout, especially for so early in the morning.  Really feeling like my old self.  I'm discovering that much of my press drop off can be attributed to a lack of proficiency, as I'm re-learning the groove on these supplemental sets.  I think I'll be seeing solid growth over the next few training cycles.  I liked what I came up with for conditioning: got some more shoulder work in and got some back work in.  The dip stripset continues to improve and I feel like it's got a lot of raw strength in it starting from the bottom.
