Today's workout was a little longer than I liked, since, mea culpa, I got caught up in a little chatting. I was also more circumspect with some moves (the press and the clean), as I am still not 100% technically confident (plus, they're hard!). Weirdly, I kept bumping into things today. I went barefoot on the press and the clean. It will be interesting to see how I feel tomorrow. Not that it matters too terribly much, since "how you feel is a lie", because, sometimes, more really is more.

SMILES: I loved the Gironda neck press! Glad I brought it back into the mix. It was nice to do some heavy rows for one. That's the one thing I disliked about Mass Made Simple: very little back work. 

FROWNS: My clean form is dumpy. This was especially clear on the last rep at 195 lbs, when I could almost feel the bar stop around chest height. I simply did not pop my hips forward with enough speed.

I did some foam rolling while watching a documentary tonight. Here's to ZMA, milk, and sleep.
