Dips
Body weight (162 lb.) - 10 lb., 10 sets of 3

Like with yesterday's chin-ups, the last couple of sets were really hard. I am definitely not ready to do these without assistance yet.

Standing face pulls
45 lb., 3 sets of 10
50 lb., 3 sets of 10

Skull crusher
30 lb. EZ curl barbell, 3 sets of 10

The scale said I weighted three pounds more than yesterday? I have been uncharacteristically hungry lately, but three pounds in a day seems unlikely.

    great dip sets @-10. yourhaulinars!

    3lb weight variance is probably mostly hydration and/or timing - i go up and down 2-3 lbs per day sometimes and my appetite seems ravenous at times, others not so much. never seems to be correlated to anything, except weight seems to drop when i run. I try to weigh myself only once per week at most, as training manuals all say not to do it frequently, but get curious and jump on the scale when i'm feeling light .

    Don't make it a habit to grind the weight for more than 2-3 seconds in a rep. This is probably going to make the fatigue accumulate. A good 10x3 workout should have constant difficulty, or feel slightly easier as it goes on (by contrast, the high rep antagonist stuff will burn more and more as you go, which is fine: it's light weight). This will keep you from burning out and/or getting frustrated. Remember, you have to keep coming back to this every week.
