EPTOther than that, I don't think I've left anything at the gym. Either have nothing with me but my shoes when I'm there or else I have an entire bag of crap (extra shoes, straps, log book, stopwatch, foam roller, water, chalk, belt, sweatshirt, jump rope, camera, etc.) depending on the workout. In the first case, there's nothing to forget (can't walk home barefoot...) or there's so much that I can't miss it.

Did 5 chinups today, as opposed to last time when I managed 2. Coming back pretty quickly. | ||

Had less power so did lower weights but decided to put everything I've got to maintain perfect form and not rush any exercise. And I actually feel better now. Plus had the oppourtunity to try out my home-made straps while doing shrugs. xD | ||

Coming back pretty quickly. Do them every day! When I started about 5 months ago I could only do like 1... Literally, I had to do like 80lbs weight assisted pull ups. It was terrible. Now I can easily bang out 12-15 pull ups. Did 10 wide grip pull ups two days ago. | ||

The part of your arm where doctors will draw blood for a blood test. Whenever I do chinups or pullups those muscles hurt very much so I can relate to what he is saying. | ||

Since I'm only supplementing those with 2 other lifts on each day, does it make sense to add a 5th day just for arms? Any suggestions for how to structure such a day? | ||
