Block Pull 3 x 8 @ 122

Resting 3 minutes.
Ok here.
Lower back was heating up towards the end of the last set in the same way it does before it starts spasming.
Eased off immediately after the last set so I’m not too worried right now.
Will continue to monitor and report any changes.

Banded Chins 1 x 20 @ BW

Resting 60 seconds.
7/5/4/4
Not bad here but not finishing strong!

Summary

All ok this morning.
