Felt great, totally buzzed.  My energy levels were really high and I hate to admit it but I got a kind of sick thrill out of benching more than BK (with no effort).  It is starting to dawn on me that I am making real progress, and there is a lot more progress to be made.  I will be squating body weight soon, and I might even be able to deadlift bodyweight in the next couple months.  If I am lucky enough to have a squatter again, I could bench a lot more.  I even feel pretty upbeat about the possibility of someday doing sets of pullups (although clearly there is a ways to go there).

 

I had intended to do one-armed rows and lunges, but didn't.  By the time I did the second set of pulldowns my forearms were totally pumped, and I felt like I had gotten a pretty good arm / shoulder workout, and I hate lunges.  I will have to get over that some day. 

 

Wow, I feel really good.
