Really behind on logging here, so I’ll just jump to the present. I’ve getting the job done though. My bulk is scheduled to wrap up after this week. I’m lean enough where I could keep going, but it will also be nice to lean out and see what had been accomplished over the past five months

  • Found a different pull up bar to use at my gym which just feels better and doesn’t kill my grip on the latter sets

  • Was a little more patient between reps on DB rows, doing a more solid pause off the floor and liked how this made things feel
