* body clock is off a little. slept 9pm-1am. was already very awake so did not bother doing another 1-2hr nap. a good thing so i can have a long sleep today and work later tonight.
* the lowered intensity on the shoulder pressing is helping keep my back fresh for the squats. might just go heavier on dips and keep the smith mid-heavy.
