21 Cal;  18 Cal;  16 Cal - I did this pretty quickly after the FS and my legs were feeling it.  I just couldn't get as much power on the AD as I wanted.  The Dl felt good.

Just to make a note on the past two days, I haven't felt 100% mentally on these workouts.  I have been in the process of buying a house over the past few weeks and yesterday while I was building to a max jerk, I got a call from my mortgage broker. He informed me that because of an oversight on his part I might not be able to get the house.  That kinda brought my mood down, and I have been following up with other folks involved in the process trying to get it figured out.  I'm okay now with everything and I know that it is in The Lords hands, but I have been kinda frustrated over the past few days.  It is what it is and I'm not going to waist any more training time over it.  I hope - lol.

On another sad note one of our fellow CF Trainers in town just passed away this morning in a motorcycle accident.  His family, friends and gym are in my prayers.
