Good Mornings 4x8 @185 (felt good)

Honestly even with only a 1 day rest after deads I just felt awesome today...even waking up to coach 0600 class and everything.  I ate a quest bar about 4 PM that I sometimes leave to eat mid workout.  I will plan on eating quest bar tomorrow at same time and see how I feel.  I feel like upper body pulling assistance (pull ups and rows) just take it out of me...not sure why.
