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.

Nice easy session except for SLDL.  Mental fatigue definitely dissipating quickly as sleep has been good again for several nights in a row, and I'm having to hold myself back from pushing sets harder in the gym.  Expect some of the physical fatigue will continue to dissipate as well, and I'm hoping to feel great to start pushing again next week.

Reduced volume and intensity and swapping out Chin-Up Accessories this week.
