EPILOGUE

Could feel a little stiffness in my lower back early on in the workout, but I was not weaker for it. Eventually worked through it and stretched it out after being warm. Other than that things felt good. No issue with knees. Used knee wraps for a couple of Leg Press sets. 4-Stage Pulls are working out nicely.
