Thoughts
Mmkay, as per a challenger appearing earlier, and the fact that I'm losing strength on my primary movement (from being too tired, I'm pretty sure), running is now restricted to off days and possibly mondays after max upper (later, in the evening), as per the half-marathon training I will now be doing.
Everything but the primary was excellent. The speed stuff rocks, I can really feel it doing its job, and it's improving my control and explosiveness immensely. A month ago I struggled to BB Curl 25x10x3, now 45x10x3 is doable, if not easy. Yeah, buddy. And, uh, there was supposed to be athird set on the bar hangs, but my ripped-off-callus holes in my hands tore open and were bleeding all over everything and generally annoying me, so I decided to call it quits on that. Really need to start sanding those things off before they become a nuisance. Forearms felt prefatigued today anyway.
I also have a wicked excellent story, but I'll be keeping it to myself for now.
Also, for the record, jman and dave were right about chins being easier than pull-ups. I will be doing wide-grip pull-ups for a while to see how that factors.
