Exhausting session.  Deadlifts were all pretty good.  I was at my 'away' gym, so I had to use stop-sign plates, which makes the rep sets feel awful.

I felt like I could have done 215X3 for forever, but after the RDLs I was pretty tired.  215X12 is a Rep PR, and I didn't use straps on that set.

I couldn't find a good way to do barbell shrugs at this gym, and even the smith machine was occupied by someone benching, so I had to go with the heaviest DBs they had.  Used straps on these as well, but even so my grip felt kind of fried afterwards.

At this point, I was so tired that I think these chin-up sets look pretty good, considering.
