Mid-afternoon Workout
I snuck away from work today (you can do that sometimes when you’re self-employed!) to do a mostly back and abs workout. I’ve been reading about rack deadlifts so I gave them a try. Not as much fun as regular deadlifts, but they isolate the lower back more so they were good to do for a change. In total I did 23 sets for back, about half for lats and half for lower back. I’m very happy with my pull-ups, I’m getting better at them and blasted out 8 in my last set! I did 17 sets of abs using 7 different exercises to hit all ab muscles from all angles. For a change of pace I threw in a few sets of power cleans. A great workout, I was sweating all through out.
I’ve been doing more back, shoulder and triceps work lately to help improve my bench press. I’m almost half way through a seven week bench workout program and I want to get the most out of it I can. Seems to be going well so far.
