Wtd pull ups and dips felt especially tough today. Really had to fight hard for my last dip by tucking my knees up! Pretty happy with the deadlift and lunges today. Thumbs felt surprisingly good in the hookgrip.

The following picture was taken on my last successful deadlift. Let me introduce to you the "Poop Face":

If I'm not making a face like I'm making a turd, I'm probably not trying hard! And now you can all feel better about yourselves because at least you don't look like THIS while you're working out.
