5 chins and 10 pull aparts in between sets of lots of stuff

Notes: Sorting out day 1 stuff. Thought this would go faster than DW but took about the same amount of time. Most likely plate changes factoring in there. Being a little leisurely between sets too: can definitely tighten it up. Totally kitchen sinking the assistance stuff there, but that’s how I roll. Biceps a little tender from the keg so kept weight away from the chins and just got in some light volume work. I had that 186lb clean just fine and then lost it and turned it into a SUPER ugly continental. Lost a lot of energy on it, so that topset of 5 was pretty slick. I ended up going up 10lbs on the my TMs from where I left off on BtM, but I’ll see if that remains viable. Still have a bit of a Jeckel and Hyde thing going on with training first thing in the morning vs later in the day.

Brought out the Meadows row handle in memory of John. Also reminded me how awesome the meadows row is in the first place. I think I may keep that on this day. It actually works out well, because now my landmine is set up for belt squats for tomorrow.

Notes: Pushed it a little harder.  These still suck.
