Notes:
Deload week!
It's kinda weird when the warmup takes twice as long as the actual workout.
I have no clue what (easy) means in the book. Does it mean to pick lighter weights? I thought the point of de-load weeks was for decreased volume, not necessarily decreased intensity. So, I picked dumbbell weights more than prior weeks for the step-ups, but they felt easy anyway because I didn't have to do front squats before them.
