Last of the De-Load days.  Decided to pause the squats.  I did this some on the last deload, and decided to go all the way with it this time.  Couple of things learned:  I've never really worried about my depth, I just go until I feel a tight stretch at the bottom before reversing.  I know I got lower with the pauses though.  Not sure what the take away is, but I do know there's more depth there if I want it in the future.  Also, the pausing really made it easy to execute form on the ascent.  Without the rapid change in direction, it's very natural to drive through the heel and let the knees track back along the correct path.  I like pause squats.
The planks were supposed to be on a ball, but I just don't trust the ball at the gym to support my weight with my feet elevated.  I tried it, but it started to go alarmingly flat, so I bailed.  I think my training will survive.
I walked home from the gym for my steady-state.  I usually do this anyway, btw.
I don't know if there's any take away from the the Chin day.  Oh, I did under-hand V-grip instead of overhand.  Not better, just different.
