I was all jazzed to do the 5 minutes of strict pull ups. I couldn't believe how long it took me to recover and be able to do another one!  I thought I'd be able to do at least 3 a minute.  But it came down to just 5 total.  Still, 5 is better than none :).  Split jerk was more disappointing.  I really hoped I'd get 145 again.  But it just didn't happen.  By push press my arms were feeling tired.  I went up in weight too fast and could only squeak out 8 reps on the last 2 sets.  Bench press felt heavy.  When I was done my arms felt like jello.  Thanks!
