Comments: My plan had been to do deadlifts up to 81% but said screw that and decided to go all out on band pulls. Last time, I didn't know the band tension until I had finished lifting so this time I had the numbers and adjusted my warm-ups. I'll be honest, I didn't feel to hot doing the warm ups. My grip strength is a tad down as I had to strap up a set earlier than I had planned. That usually comes back fast though so not worried. The bar did some reverse rappelling on the way up with 560lbs. Got quite a cramp in the back of my neck from the effort. On the down set, I forgot to factor in the band tension for 90% so it was a very tough set. I liked it haha. Wide grip rdl's felt good, grip felt good on these. Ghr were quite tough, probably from all the reps of rdl's. I didn't have time to stretch besides my calf muscles. Had stuff to do. Feels good to actual work hard again.
