couldn't let Drew get a monopoly of gay pictures

I closed out with a set of 6 chin ups, so that we could take a picture of it:

You may have noticed that today was pretty heavy on the back work. This was for two reasons:

1) I feel like our two upper body days lately have more pushes than pulls, so I wanted to throw a lot more pulling in today.

2) I had planned on ending the day with some farmer's walks, until I managed to give myself a bout of acute tendonitis in my achilles tendon by running hills on Friday and Sunday and playing 2 hours of basketball on Tuesday, all without warming up. I decided to give the old achilles tendon a little rest today, and get some extra work in elsewhere.

I recently bought some more protein powder the other day from trueprotein.com.

32 lbs to be exact. Gotta get that bulk discount. Hidden in there is also 2 lbs of waxy maize, which I had not used prior to receiving this package. Having tried it, I will probably just stick to dextrose for PWO carbs in the future because it doesn't taste like ass, it's cheaper, and based on what I've read, the difference in absorption is most likely not significant. Or it might be significant, but I can't summon the interest to do more than skim a few abstracts. If waxy maize vs dextrose is what makes or breaks me, I'm probably doing something wrong.
