    Squat pause 225 x 5,5,5 with a 3 second pause at the bottom. Really gassed after. Told Adam that 3 sec pause is a lot harder than the 2 sec I’m used to. He said doing 5s when he said 3s is hard too. Doh!

    Note on chins, my lat machine chins are 50% rows, my band chins are nose and eyes high, and my negatives are still plummety. But I can taste a real honest to goodness chin up in my future. Last seen at least 35 years ago.

    A new piece in the gym sure keeps the interest up.

    I almost think that's just the new Texas bar feel.

    I remember when I first used my Texas Power Bar back in 2020, I thought it felt like a cheese grater compared to the globo gym bars I used before the 'Vid lockdowns. But after a few sessions, I never noticed the knurl. Then this past November they ran deals on "blemished" bars, so I went to nab another Power Bar. A mis-click on my end and I ended up with a Texas All American Bar, which was advertised as having a more gentle knurl to facilitate the Olympic lifts. That "gentle knurl" felt like a cheese grater. But now, I don't even notice, even when I switch between bars during the same workout.

    So give it a few more workouts and you probably won't even notice, even during the hook grip.

    Keep at it, Richard!
