Notes:

* With no carb-up yesterday, I came into the morning feeling fatigued as hell, but once I started hitting work sets things clicked along well and I was strong.  That very first set of log press was outstanding, and I had zero blackout issues.  Timing was the biggest barrier to success, but my knee is holding out well.  Kept having the bar slip on the front squats.  I used an actual rack position for the warm-ups, and though I could manage it, it was beating up my connective tissue a bit too much.  Something to strive for.

* Shaved a set of abs and lateral raises due to time.  I slept an extra 20 minutes.  If I’m seeking sleep, I’m embracing it.

* Those dips continue to move in an outstanding direction.  I’ll have to make sure they’re still a regular feature in my training.
