Starr Rehab Squats continue just fine.  Conditioning getting much more acclimated.  First set with no thought to stop for extra breaths.  No trouble from the adductor.

Press felt a little bit better today.  I pulled the warm-up weights down a bit.  I'd been going 45, 75, 95, 115, all X5, and I thought maybe I was getting a bit too much fatigue.  So this time I went 45, 85, 105, 115.  The 115 felt much fresher, and so did the first work set.  Enough that I felt confident finally bumping up the weight for the last set, and it still felt @9.  This is all very squishy.

Chin-ups started off feeling very strong for the first few sets, but I also hit a 15 month low in measured body weight.  Still got 1 more total rep than last time.

Pull-Downs were very hard, however I was having to use the "lesser" pull-down machine.  It's not as ideal of a bar path, and who knows how the actual resistance compares to my usual machine.

Curls were a bit stronger.
