Notes: 90 seconds rest between sets.  Work ran a little late, and since I've decided on a 5/3/1 style approach for press, figure it'd be good to get in a deload. I do like what I've come up with for supplemental work, and think it's going to prove beneficial.  I blended in some stuff from the main workout into the deload, because it's value added.  I liked being able to get in those chins in such quick fashion.  Totaled 50 reps.  Hitting row after that was definitely challenging.  In general, this was pretty no-nonsense with the short rest times and I got a solid pump out of it.

Hitting the 27 chins was pretty cool, so this morning, before heading into work, I decided to see what I could do when I was a little more fresh.  Managed 31.  Pretty sure that's some sort of PR.  I want to keep the back training frequent for as long as I can, as I really seem to be responding well, and I'd been neglecting it for a while.  I'm also considering leaving my super long DB handle loaded all the time and having it ready to go for a set of rows to see what that does for me.
