Out of curiosity, how do you log your information at the gym? Is there some app on the iphone or are you like carrying a clipboard around?

I bring a notebook with me man.

This week's been rough due to finals. I've gotten very little sleep due to the fact that my hardest final was today. Got that bitch done with so I had to cap off the night with a great leg workout

Is there a specific bar you prefer to use for pulldowns?

The gym I was at last night only had short bars so I was stuck doing a close-grip lat pull downs. Normally, I'll use wide-grip bars if I ever do pulldowns.
