About 200 calories burned. 66 reps total.  This was my fifth 10 minute set with the 16k's with 5 lb. taped on.  It was tough enough that I wished not to be doing it, but nowhere near a max effort.  Time to step up to 12 minutes at this pace.

Just greasing the groove.  Finished with a moderately difficult 315.  My first 300+ pull in a very long time. Some stretching.
