Notes: 2:00 between revefrse hypers.  Way this day went was I worked all night, got home at 0745, slept till 1300, got in 1 meal and some snacks and then went for it.  I was really surprised at how strong I felt, and, in truth, it upset me because it meant I had more work to do.  I even told myself on the back off set "ok, if we can only get 9, we'll just go from there", and then when 9 absolutely flew by I knew I'd have to get 11 and that I'd be doing even more reps.

Also, in writing all that out, I realized that I refer to myself as multiple people when I train.  "We", "us".  Interesting. Gotta figure that's a mind vs body thing.

But, yet again, this protocol proves to be too damn effective and I should really stop abandoning it.  I'm up 3 reps in my topset in as many weeks, and it has an exponential cascading effect.  I went from a total of 27 reps in a workout to 43 reps in those 3 weeks as well.  About the only issue is the insane lower back pump.  After the workout is done, I lay with my head on one set of crash pads and my legs on another and just try to get the blood out of my back for 5 minutes.  On the plus side, my recovery is on point and I bounce back much faster than I used to.

Cut out the shrugs, since I was short on time.  The reverse hypers were intense after the fact.
