HEY GUYS AND GIRLS,

         I AM FINALLY HOME AND GOT TO TRAIN IN A REAL GYM TODAY. TODAY WAS BACK DAY. I STARTED OFF WITH SOME WEIGHTED PULLUPS. I DID 4 SETS OF 6 WITH A 25# PLATE. THEN I WENT ON TO LAT PULLDOWNS ON THE HAMMER STRENGTH MACHINE. NEXT,I DID T-BAR ROWS FOLLOWED BY BARBELL ROWS. NEXT I DID PULLOVERS ON THE NAUTILUS PULLOVER MACHINE SUPERSETTED WITH REVERSE DUMBELL FLYES. I FIINISHED THE WORKOUT WITH 4 SETS ON THE REVERSE PEC DECK. IT WAS AWESOME TO BE BACK IN THE GYM.
