Pull-ups, last set failed at 5. I didn't up the weight on the Strict curls because last time I did it, I had to cheat the last two reps of each set. This time was much better, but I cheated the last rep. The core stability addition is pretty much awesome and my obliques are pretty fried right now. As far as ESD goes, the HIIT was pretty killer since it's been so long. I also REALLY pushed the "on" intervals more than I ever have before, so that also went into it. Ran out of fire before the last minute. This'll be a slow and gradual thing to get back to my former endurance.
