I had been doing 5x5 weighted pull-ups and chin-ups, but I noticed that the combination of pull-ups and bench press was making my elbows really sore, so I am now just focusing on bodyweight chin-ups. The video was from a max attempt day for the power lifts and I decided to try some 1RM chins and pull-ups at the end. I don't do that on a regular basis.

My quad felt great during the squatting. Taking the time off was a good decision. It's tightening up a bit now, but I'm going to do some stretching and active release. No belt on any of the squat sets. Two minute intervals on all bench press sets.

Thanks. The bench is finally getting close to "not ghey" territory. I'm going to bump up my training max next week.

Notes
I tried my new Rehband knee sleeves. They felt great, but I'm not sure that I would wear them on a regular basis for deadlifts. Maybe I'll save my old ones for pulling. My leg is doing great. Taking those two days off from squatting and deadlifting last week was definitely the right decision. Putting 2.5lb plates on a barbell looks pretty silly.
