Notes: 3:45 between heavy pulls, 2:00 between giant sets.  Little baby PRs from last week with a 5lb jump on the topset and a much faster set of 5 for 585.  Biggest victory was zero issues with the hamstring and zero apprehension on the pull: was able to fully commit just like before.  Did this workout after a 12 hour fast for my blood lipids, so that's pretty cool too.

Humidity has gotten nasty around here and my left knee is swelling up like a grapefruit.  Hoping it will sort itself out, as it's getting in the way of stretching.   Training in the garage can get nasty.  I'll have to watch hydration.
