Compared to the third go-round of "week 1", my numbers were down. But compared to the first go-round they were probably up.

It's just so much. Pushup, pullup, pushup, pullup. The bands are a nice break both for back workouts such as lawn mowers, as well as when I used them for Close grip at one point. Took many more reps to feel a burn, but useful.

Dive bomber pushups are still nuts. Not sure I've explained them before. Unless you're ever going to try them, it's not worth going through. Just understand that it'll hurt once you go for it.

Finished with abs. Did this whole workout with my friend. After 50 mason twists, both of us hit the ground hard. Tony's grabbin' his knees.

Plyo tomorrow. Really excited to get back into this muscle building after a seemingly very long break.
