Notes:

* More mixing it up: went with a traditional barbell high pull vs the trap bar.  Significant weight drop, first time performing this movement.  Really tried to focus on explosiveness and getting the elbows high.  Straps go a long way.  The incline is moving in a good direction, and my flat bench continues to climb.  

* Oh my god those buffalo bar squats.  I have no idea where that PR came from but I’ll take it.  Just so awesome to have the opportunity to dig like that.  Knees and hips are holding up pretty decent.

* Evening walks are on a bit of a hold as schedules explode, so I’m getting in what I can in the morning.  Not getting in much Vitamin D with the later sunrise, but the outdoor exposure is still good.

* “Stumble” is the right verb: once the bar was racked, I threw on my Bearfoot shoes and just lumbered around the neighborhood willing my legs to work again.  But the time I made it all the way around the block I had a bit more of a human stride.

* It was sparring night in Tang Soo Do last night, and I got to go up against our instructor.  It’s nice to be able to open up a little more.  My overall flexibility/mobility has really improved over the years since we started doing this, and I’ve got some pretty high kicks going now.
