Recovery has been off, and I think that impacted Chin-Up strength out of the gate.

Chin-Up War Week 7. Day A.

sRPE @7
BW - 226

Chins - BWX9(PR), 5, 4 @10/9

CS Rows - 135X11, 10 @10

Hypers - BWX16, 14, @8/9

EZ OH Extensions - 55X12, 10 @10

BB Curls - 85X12(PR), 7(PR) @10

Another Rep PR on Chins, but barely got that last rep over the bar.

Wasn't feeling GHR today, so just kicked out some hypers instead.

85 for 12 is a Rep PR on Curls, and for 2 sets of 7 is a Volume PR as well.  Feel like I may shoot for a new 95# Rep PR with a 45# barbell at the end of the block.
