Could it be? A workout?
BW: 200
CG Chins: BW x 10, 5
NG Chins: BW x 6, 3
WNG Chins: BW x 5, 2
Pullups: BW x 3, 2
How this worked: I alternated through the exercises; in other words, I started with chins, then did a neutral grip set, and on and on and on. My dip belit is due to arrive today - so my max effort chinning will begin next week.
DB Incline Press: 4 x 8 @ 60

Chest Supported Fly: 4 x 8 @ 5
That 5 pounds is no typo - I decided to make the second half of this superset a therapeutic exercise I learned after the car accident. It assails the posterior delts, traps, rhomboids, and every small striation in between. Basically, lay face down on an incline bench with your arms starting at a hang, and raise them laterally, each rep alternating between the weight being parallel to the ground and at 90 degrees. You'll never feel anything like it.
Cable Upright Rows: 4 x 8 @ 80
CG Bench: 4 x 8 @ 140
Some form notes: I kept my scaps loose and my back flat on the bench. The bar hit on the lower part of my pecs; grip was one finger on the smooth part of the bar. The only time I felt chest interaction was at the top of the lift, perhaps 85% up. I actually tried a few reps with an arched back and tight scaps - and it's an altogether different press; I felt the weight equally on my anterior delts, pecs and tris. I reverted to my previous form, and it was all tricep.
I had to add these to the cycle after seeing Lol do 'em.
Got one in!
