Sunday:
Timed-Mile - 8:49

Kind of an 80% session, I guess.  Squats felt slower than I would have hoped, but 235X5 is pretty much dead-center-average for what I've hit the last 5 weeks.

Fronts felt solid.  Still playing with my grip trying to find a fingers under grip that's both stable and comfortable enough not to be a distraction.  I was planning on starting BBB with 115 for sets of 10, but I believe I will start with this weight at least until my grip is more settled.

Used Paul Carter's over-warm-up method on rows this time to great success.  I was struggling to get 75X10 just working up to it, and with the over-warm-up here the 15 rep set was solid.

Dips were okay.  It's still just a matter of being gassed by the end of the session, and still having the discipline to not only work through all 5 sets, but to keep pausing each rep at the bottom.

Fell off the conditioning band-wagon a bit since I've been back from vacation.  Had a tight schedule this week, but I made myself go out at sunset last night and run a mile.
