Notes:

* Really got in some solid pumps today. Chest responded well to the incline, shoulders pumped up from the pressing, and lats responded well to the chins. I keep running into the issue that my arms are exhausted after the tricep stretch making chins VERY taxing. Just trying a warm-up rep tends to be killer, but after a little bit of time I recover enough to continue. It’s weird the connection my triceps have with my lats in that regard.

* Tried to make a point of emphasizing the stretched position on the worksets. Paused on the bottom of the incline and trap bar pressing, stretched out the triceps, tried to hold the reps with the thumbs in the armpits on the rows, etc. All those little tricks.

* Apparently I was a bit light on most of my work here. I’ll be able to increase weights for the most part.

* Row weights aren’t including the axle: just what was loaded. That ab cramp was gnarly: haven’t had one of those in a while.

* Mrs won out on our Dojang’s sparring tournament yesterday. Great to see her progress.
