Rough commute today.  Exactly the kind of day I don't want to go to the gym, and exactly the kind of day when it's most important to make myself go.  Yay freakin' me.

Jefit says 135X10 is a bench PR.  So that feels nice.  I realized before that set that I had forgotten to throw chin-ups in between my earlier sets.  I started to go do them, but I stopped myself for two reasons.  1) I thought it might be beneficial to give myself a few days off from chins to be recovered before the next full chin day, and 2) it occurred to me that by throwing in sets of 2-4 chins all the time, I might only be training myself to DO 2-4 chins.  On Monday I am gonna by god do 5 or more chins without letting go of the bar.

The hypertrophy stuff was all fine today.  Triceps extensions PR, and I managed to keep the weight slightly up on the curls.  I think switching to the high pulley for the face-pulls helped my biceps rest more.

DB complexes are fun, but I'm sure glad I didn't up the weight from last week.  I was grinding on the extra 10 reps, and my legs are feeling it today.
