Tried switching up the order of the lat work.  The original Pullover/Chins/Pulldowns progression was inspired by reading about Dorian Yates back training.  But I'm not Dorian Yates, and I felt like the trade-off of pre-fatiguing the lats to make them work harder on the chins wasn't worth the drastic reduction in reps per set on chins.  Thought I'd try treating chin-ups more like a power movement for a while by placing them first.
