Notes
I introduced my old training partner to my routine since he has severe upper body mobility issues.  I think he saw the value, but was of course worried about "muscle atrophy." What am I supposed to say?  If you want to fix things, you need to fix things.  If you have the drive to do hypertophy stuff on top of all this, then go for it, so long as its not putting you into counterproductive body positions.

I didn't do the second workout of Phase 2 as its laid out, but thats ok.  Front squats felt terrible.  Hard on my fingers/wrists and it felt terrible getting below terrible.  No pain at all, it just didn't feel natural.  I also had some pretty noticeable forward lean.

    Here's some examples of grip, bracing, resetting elbows, etc before each rep.
    The first 2 I think my stance are too wide, but are just a reference from all angles
