Chill man, was just curious. I only asked because I was confused as to why you did only one set. I thought it was supposed to be 5x5 for those, too.

Chill, lol. I was never mad to begin with, pfft.
Anyway, I'll put it like this. I can't do 5x5 chinups right now. In fact, because of my consistent bodyweight gains and my bodyfat% it is difficult to even do 5x3 for me. So I just basically do a set of max reps and call it good.
The rows are where I really go at it because my bodyweight increases have no negative effect on them and I like them more than the chins and feel they have more real world carryover in alot of situations.

Ah, alright. That's good to hear, in an odd way. You know, gaining so much weight that chinups are proving highly difficult. Awesome stuff!

Those weights are going up Ghetto. Have you invested in squat briefs yet?

I haven't curgeo. I wouldn't mind some snug black briefs that weren't as stiff as a squat suit, but that gave a tight feeling in the ass and thigh region when squatting. I wouldn't want to have it really help me at all.
On the other hand, I like lifting raw except for wrist wraps and a belt on max attempts only.
It's weird when I squat because even the powerlifter's just break parallel. I go ATF on all my squats and I know it hinders the amount of weight I can use, but I want my squatting to have a greater effect on leg developement and athletic carryover than PL style squats, not to put PL squats down at all.

Barbell Full Squat-warmups to 230x5x5

Barbell row-warmups to 170x1x5
Glute/Ham Raise-BW only 1x9
Good workout. Squats coulda felt lighter, but it's all good. I will squat 240x5x5 and 250x1x5 SOLID the cycle! No doubt.
The strongest powerlifter in the gym did a 760 squat and then attempted an 833, but couldn't quite get it up. Fucking badass, especially because his stance is only a little wider than shoulder width.
