They were 2 sets of 5 for Super Slow Chest Flies, taking a full 10 seconds to lower the weight and a full 10 seconds to lift it; and 3 sets of 12, 12 and 20 for Parallel Bar Reverse Grip Chest Dips

Then hit 3 sets of 1 for Slow Weighted Pull-ups with Intra-Rep Pauses, taking 5 seconds to pull from a dead hang to the midpoint, pausing and squeezing for 10 seconds, then taking 5 seconds to pull from the midpoint to the chest. Repeating the process as I lowered.

Then moved onto 3 sets of 13 for Double Impact DB Pull-overs, getting 1 1/4 reps for every rep with the 1/4 rep being in the stretched position.

Hit 3 sets of 8 for Gymnastics Rings Archer Pull-ups

Then got in 3 sets of 10 for Bent Over Barbell Rows

Nailed 3 sets of 20, 18 and16 for Reverse Crunch Roll-ups

Finished up with 3 sets of 14, 14 and 12 for V-ups

Great stuff!!
