Isn't it just water and glycogen stored in muscle? I wouldn't worry.
What happened to the pull ups?

JK

Todays pullups felt ok mate. My left elbow/forearm is always a bit tender after upper body workouts but subsides pretty easy so as long as I'm not hammering it day in and out then I should be ok.

JK

Today was lower body power day. Felt pretty weak due to the cold and really struggled with squats.
 
Warmup - 10mins on bike and a decent rollout with foam roller. Did alot of those hurdles that I think Hardster posted up in his log while I was doing my warm-up squats
 
Workout (working sets only) was:
Squats - 5x5 @ 110kg
Leg press - 3 sets of 10 @ 270kg
Leg extensions - 10x66kg/side, 8x72kg/side
Deadlifts - 3x5 @ 150kg
Lying hamstring curls - 8x48kg, 8x48kg
Seated calf press - 10x280kg then 3 sets of 10 @ 320
 
Finished with another 5mins on the bike and more foam roller.
