Notes: 3:45 between heavy pulls, 2:00 between super sets.  10lbs up from last week, but not a PR.  Trying something different with the supplemental work and trying to make this a full on deadlift day.  Pause deads are one of those things I always think about trying and never do, so today seemed like a good day to try.  Fairly challenging, especially after the max effort work.  After the rows, I went to do some chins and couldn't bend my arms, so that might be a good sign.  I'll ride this out and see how it goes.

Stretching continues to improve with time.

TKD lessons are going decent.  Noticed that my student's punching is just becoming front raises when transitioning from the low block.  Also realizing how absolutely stupid it is to keep your hand out after a punch compared to bringing it back to your face.  Frustrating.
