I dropped back on the work-weight on PBN.  I was getting ahead of myself, as I usually like to hit a 20 rep target before I start moving up.  Not being able to get 20 reps with 85 shows that I still need to do that work first.

I don't know WTF was going on with chins today.  I'm confident I wasn't cutting them high, or kipping or anything.  I've never gotten double-digit reps on a 2nd set of chin-ups EVER.  And then to go well over 5 on the 3rd set is just mind-boggling.  I'm sure it will be a one-off, hahahah.

Still, since I only did one AMAP set of pullovers last week, and then had an awesome chin-up day this week, I figured I'd roll with that.  I upped the weight by one plate and still got one more rep than last week.  These and the pulldowns are all very controlled reps with a squeeze at peak contraction and a pause at full extension.

Upped the weight on the reverse curls as well, and got good reps on most everything else.

All-in-all a good session.
