Notes - The squats were murder today.  That was fucking hard.  But I got it done, with some generous rest in there.  Didn't sleep all that well and just felt tired and run down before I started training, so I knew this was going to be pretty damn hard.  But I got it done. Bench was reasonably strong.  I am on a nice run on that lift right now.  DLs were - well they were fine but I was pretty damn tired.  But pulled pretty strong.
