Notes
Had a decent hangover today.  Nothing a little pre-workout red bull and ephedrine won't fix.  ;)

During warm-ups I noticed my left hip seemed to feel fine.  I very, very cautiously warmed up for squats.  Pain free.  This is a little weird considering it hurt enough for me to completely drop squats a few days ago.  I did a shitload of lacrosse ball work on my legs on Wednesday.   Maybe that did the trick.  On Monday I'll give squats a try and see how it goes.  So twice a week I'll be doing high rep squats followed by high rep deadlifts.  Should be a good time.

Sets of 10 feel easy after starting the week with sets of 15.  I'm using a stop watch for my rest periods.  Therefore they are strict as hell.
