Productive, but exhausting. I increased the weight on bench/row, and was able to hit the minimum of 3×5. It felt heavy, my arms felt unsteady, but I still got the weight up. Nice.
Forty pull-ups. I was really tired by the end of that. I felt like I might not be able to get that fifth pull-up. I found myself leaning back slightly. It felt like my arms were fatiguing, and leaning back engaged my lats a little more. I’m not sure, it’s just what it felt like.
