Not the best day today. For the dynamic pull, I decided to stay afresh of the new skill I've picked up, so instead of sets of four explosive pulls, I had the first pull be a full muscle-up before continuing the set. Unfortunately, by the 7th and 8th set, I ran out of gas to muscle-up, so had to revert back to just four explosive pulls. I'm still getting this amazing "flying" feeling from the muscle-up, so that's cool.

The DB bench went up to 65, but I could only manage six reps. Fine by me, that's good enough. EXCEPT I failed on the third set to get over four. Shame. But it felt good, like I was really working, so I'm not too concerned. The rows got a little sloppy at the end, but nothing to really comment on there.
