Notes
Doing all this shit is taking a lot out of me.  Its not much on paper, but I'm trying to be ultra aware about my body positions on all movements.   Bracing/maintaining a tight core on everything is tiresome. The most exciting thing today was I did a split squat on my 6th try.  I was shaking and spasming with effort, but I looked in the mirror and shin was perpendicular to the ground w/ everything else in the right position.  It is amazing how much space split squats immediately create in my hips. Feels fucking amazing.
