Notes: Very solid back day.  Still kills me to see the weight be down on those trap bar pulls, but my strength is higher than ever.  I am grinding crazy singles on these, and if I could swallow my ego enough to get it on video I’d probably appreciate it.  I’ve been seeing my chins steadily going down with the daily work included, so I may be outpacing recovery, OR I may be gaining enough weight to make some small impacts.  T-bar rows are getting Branch Warren-esque, but Branch is also awesome, so f**k it.  Threw in the lat pulldowns as a way to get in some extra volume.  No strict rest times: I’d hit sets while cleaning up the gym, and then hit the stripset when everything was put away.  Chuck Vogelpohl likes the lat pulldown, so I should too.  My set-up is pretty ghetto, but should work for my purposes.

 

Actually put some weight in the keg today.  Original plan was to do it like stripsets, but I was pushing until rhabado, so I gave myself some rests instead.

 

Pizza buffet awaits.
