Notes:

• This is exactly why I record all the sessions: I realized that I did sets of 8 on the curls for some reason instead of sets of 10. No idea why, although it was truthfully dialed in right, so maybe my body knew.

• Otherwise, I got some REAL good sleep last night. Woke up a few times in the middle of the night swearing I had gotten a full night's rest, only to find out I had some "bonus sleep" ahead.

• Bench is ever so slightly too heavy. Bigger issue is just lacking skill: kept hitting the j-hooks.

• Continue to be pleased with the mat pull performance. It really is a matter of just getting the weight broken off the floor, and from there I own it. Definitely blew out some blood vessels today.

• Tang Soo Do last night was a decent workout. Lotta focus on basics. Once again: I have to do the opposite of everyone else in class, and focus LESS on power generation so I can flow. On that note, I had better luck throwing the bag by grabbing the sides vs the handle. I'm wondering if my arms are just too damn long that, when combined with the handle, it's just getting goofy trying to throw it. I need to embrace my inner trebuchet.

• Weighed in at 81.9kg. Good to see the weight go up. We have ABF workout 5 tonight, and possibly a walk since the weather is nice.
