A pretty good workout, all considered.  Went with BK, so I had a spotter.  I hated the pullups but got them done, and sailed through the deadlifts, squats, pulldowns and situps.  The squats were really great, felt superb.  I should go up 10 on all of those.  The bench was tough, but I'll get 12 next week, and then I can go up.  The OH press was atrocious.  My form was fucked after 9.  I blame the inclines, which were BK's idea.  I think inclines are sort of stupid, and I would much rather save my energy for the bench and OH presses. 

 

Another point worth mentioning is the warmup.  The little jog at the beginning was very pleasant and I think it really helped with the squat and the deadlift, which were totally painless.  I can't say if this is because it got my HR up a bit or if it loosened my legs up.  Thinking about warming up with rowing instead but I do like a nice slow jog and an opportunity to work on form a bit. 

 

The real point of depression is the dips.  I can't do more than 10 to save my fucking life.  Maybe I should do them first next time?
