Real good BB session at the office gym. First set of chins felt really strong.
I may have had an interesting breakthrough on pulldowns. The machine at this gym is one of the fake iso-laterals where the one cable attached to the weight splits into two and goes to some rope-ish handles. While trying to find the right groove with this awkward thing, I started allowing my elbows to travel more forward throughout the movement as opposed to out to the sides. Kind of like a combo pull-down/pull-over. This really seemed to start making my lats burn. Something I'll definitely keep in mind and see if I can replicate it with more traditional pulldown machines.
