Day 23 Back and Traps
Well today started off good with a 15min warmup on the treadmill. and then went to.....
pulldowns wide- 100x10,120x10,140x8,150x6
All 4 sets felt great got my lats and shoulders nice and warmed up.
pull ups- 3x6
These all felt great nice and controlled
power shrugs- 185x10,225x8,275x8,315x6
Rack pulls- 225x10,315x8,365x5
I went for the 6th rep and almost had it all the way up then BAM my lower back gave way and I had to drop the bar. I thought I pulled it pretty good at first. But after and little stretching it was feeling good enough to finish up my routine.
So needless to say I skipped bent over rows and replaced with T bar rows to keep from putting to much strain on my lower back.
T bar rows- 90x10,100x8,120x8
And last but not least DBL rows using the grip ZED suggested I try.
DBL rows- 40x10,45x10,50x10
I like doing them this way. I felt these in my Bis, rear delts, traps and my lats. I couldnt do them as heavy as the way I was doing them. I will continue doing them this way for sure seems like it encorporates more muscle into the movement.
So other then the little pull in my back its was another great day in the gym.
