Notes: In between all that was various daily work.  Just kinda active all day.  Bench fell apart, so I set it back 2 cycles and finished up.  It's been a struggle to come to terms with how weak all my pressing has become, and my deadlifting for that matter.  My squat is sky-rocketing, so I'll ride that high as long as I can.  Was quite proud of the effort I put into the deads: definitely blew out a ton of blood vessels.  

That little conditioning workout was a burner: happy with how it worked.  Definitely a solid skeleton to play with.  Easy enough to take it to 10 sometime.

At my kid's Tang Soo Do class I found out I got invited to join the advanced class.  I'm a bit torn, because this was supposed to be a family activity and this is clearly separating me from them, but my wife is excited about it.  I'd still be able to do a class with her once a week and then do the advanced on my own.  I'm finding myself getting drawn back in again, which is cool.

I need to eat more.  There's 3 weeks left, I'm in the home stretch, and I'm simultaneously setting PRs everywhere and having the wheels fall off at the same time.
