Notes:

* I managed to heal up well enough to squat today, but I was not feeling happy about it. Left hip was far more game, but my forearms are pissed off from that re-rack on workout 7. I was surprised at how easily I could get the DBs in position to bench this morning, and getting in 3x12 was outstanding, but by the time I finished up with the BtN presses (3x10 on those is also awesome), my right forearm was telling me to stop. I was tentative approaching the squat, thought today might be a day for failure, but once I got the bar on my back and got through rep 3 I suddenly knew I was going to make it. It was a weird feeling to “know” so early in the set, but it was just feeling like a good day. My legs are awesome, my core is strong, it’s the little things that are the x-factors here.

* Being able to return to Kroc rows is outstanding. The right tricep is taking time to heal, but I’m seeing good markers here. Same with those weighted chins.  

* Tabata deadlifts came about from a desire to not hold anything in a rack position, and it smoked me pretty good. Nice to get in SOME sort of deadlifting as well. I was trying to move fast on the first round, but after that discovered that moving at a conservative pace was still going to nuke me just fine.
