Done. It's unworldly hot and humid and the end of a long day. And I'm tired. As an aside, the pulls were originally supposed to be off of a plate but the chain would end up coming entirely off the floor and swinging me and the weight so I decided it was not a good idea and got rid of the plate. Used the thicker bar because it wouldn't bend as much as the deadlift bar with the chains hanging on the ends.

Stay strong,
