I am, also being a little dramatic:) I “should” be able to do all three sets unbroken but was tripping up 3+ times every set. More time prob wouldn’t have bought me that many more pull-ups, though, so they really just let me rest, hahahha!!

Glad to be back from travels. 🙂 DMA done! Used 35# for kb stuff. I love all the shoulder prehab. A. worked at 75# and 80#. Did manage to snatch off “blocks” (stacked plates) today, but it’s going to take getting used to. I do get why it’s worth doing though. B. Row: 2:01/ 1:59/ 2:03. DUs: 25/25, 50 unb, 30/20. PU: 6/7/5. They felt sticky and hard today, no spring, just guts. Probably from so much airplane in the last 4 days. NJ is far away! 🙂 Additional A: Back squats at 170. Felt great to squat. 🙂 Ran… Read more »

What were we trying to hit here and what is the objective does it seem like strict pull-ups are coming in open scenarios? I used to be so good at strict pull-ups I can’t believe I have to do them in sets of 5 now.
