Notes
-So I had an intense bout of the flu that I'm still getting over. 3 days straight of a high fever wrecked me pretty good.  Fever stopped today finally and I debated whether or not to go in tonight because I felt like shit still, but I needed to get back on track at some point.

-Squatting felt like a different exercise in my shoes.  They are seriously a game changer.  For the first time since I can remember I felt like I was actually squatting.  My drive out of the hole was with my LEGS... I don't know what it is usually, but it doesn't feel like it did tonight.

-Easily the heaviest I've gone without a belt (for sets) in .... forever?  I think its a combo of the shoes/core/unbelted work, but it all came together nicely, even considering I was sick as shit.
