Mid-Rep Volume PRs. Week 3. GPP Session A.

sRPE @7
BW - 209

Chin-Ups - BWX5, 3, 3, 3 @9/8

BB Curls - 45X14, 14, 14, 14 @6/8

Straight-Arm Pushdowns - X13, 13, 11, 9 @8/9

Rower - HIIT; 9 rounds / 16 minutes

45 for 4 sets of 14 is a Volume PR on Curls.  I realized I was using 50 lbs. the first couple of weeks, but I didn't need that much weight to hit PRs.  So I backed off to see if I can push 45 to 4 sets of 20 this block. 

Gonna be traveling around the weekend, so shoved most of my GPP for the week into a single session.
