I will admit, I was surprised how much a 1RM took, in terms of effort and intensity, and how tired I was after.
Good job there brother. You make a perfect point / example. A lot of people do not understand how much of a toll going 95%+ on a lift takes on the body and the CNS. Make sure you take a nice deload on pulling ( honestly I would skip pulling altogether for a week ).
