Everything felt wrong today. Super stiff and struggling to get full ROM on squats. Took on too much weight and couldn't finish my set. Just generally no gas in the tank.

Rough week.

A solid MP day. I hadn't been able to get the full 135lb x 10 until now.

For my pull ups today I tried only letting my weight come down part of the way instead of completely releasing the tension off my biceps at the bottom of the rep. Changes up the feel of the exercise a lot.

Got 2 sets of 10 out with 135lb on MP which is a first for me I think. Really killed me for that last set though.

Today I messed around a bit with my grip width. Trying to see where I could get better chest activation. I actually brought my grip in about 2 finger widths and it seemed to take some stress off the shoulders and put it more on the chest. I felt quite strong on the first set and I've never even attempted 2 sets of 225lb before so overall it was a win.

Weight is starting to come on though ... I have had a few bad weekends in a row of eating... summer time is hard to stay consistent!
