Notes:

• Accomplished my goal today of 15 reps, and it was surprisingly not as difficult as I was expecting. My form felt the best it has ever been, and I felt like I actually had the strength to hold the weight overhead without struggling. A few months ago I wasn't sure I could do 100# even once so this is a big benchmark for me. Now I will work on heavier weights, with a long term goal of squatting my bodyweight overhead.
• Tried to get this on video, but it only caught the first 6 or 7 reps.
• Side note: my left side feels slightly weaker doing plank lifts than my right, so I am trying to balance that out
• No serious soreness to speak of, though my middle back and shoulders were just slightly tight this morning.
