COMMENTS

* I'm getting a lot deeper in my front squats, which means my hip flexibility is improving. I haven't felt any strain in my lower back since going heavy on these, which is good. I can attribute that to staying tight during the eccentric part of the life and snapping my hips forward at the top of the lift.

* My TGUs are feeling really strong. I feel I'm right on the threshold of the 5th set.

COMMENTS

* Didn't really get into the floor press. It's not one of the lifts taught at the RKC so I'm going throw it out and stick to overhead press variations.

* The Dbl Front Sqts w/ the 24 were hard, but I know they will make me stronger. Think I'll use them as a warm up when I go back to ROP.

*Dbl Windmills rocked, but really need to focus on TGUs
