Ended up just taking a 5 day break around the Thanksgiving holiday.  Rather than try to finish out the (already extended) General S+C template, I decided to jump right into prep for a mock meet on 12/31.

After all the lower specificity training the last few blocks, I had to really hold my emotions back and stay calm.  Tried to funnel all the arousal into extreme focus on technique.  In particular, reminding myself that the supplemental lifts can help build technical cues on the mains if I let them.

Mash-up a couple of GPP sessions and still skipped conditioning, lol.  Just a lot going on heading into the holidays so getting in what I can/what I'm motivated to do.

Backed off a bit on TTB reps as calluses were bothering me.
