Notes
First workout since last Friday.  I finished up with stuff yesterday around 4.  Got home, and had no desire to round my shit up and get back to the gym.  I worked through the weekend to prepare for a trial and then final negotiation. I'm completely done with 2 of my 4 classes now though.  Tomorrow is my last class of law school. Then just one paper and one exam and I'm done forever.

I'm seriously looking forward to the next month.  I'm going to train my ass off and be active as hell.  I've definitely lost some conditioning according to  my heart rate monitor (higher peaks and longer recovery between runs tonight).  But, who cares.   I said at the beginning of the year that school was my absolute number one priority.  I'm finishing this shit strong.

Tonight I just went in and basically used the barbell to actively stretch. I felt great leaving the gym, and then had a solid conditioning session in the park.  It was 75 degrees, and it felt amazing to finally sweat from the sun.

Squat video was just a quick form check.  I've been really working on blending on improving my hip break without arching the low back.  Looks like my lower back is pretty neutral in the bottom.

Training has been haphazard the past couple of weeks, but that is easily fixed.  I'm in a good place right now.
