Back/Traps
Today was the first day I’ve been on my new bulking cycle, and I love training back and traps, so it was a good and productive day.
Warmup–20 Pullups
Wide Grip Lat Pulldown– 200 lbs, 5×5
Barbell Bent-Over Row– 165 lbs, 5×5
Close (Parallell) Grip Weighted Pullups– 25 lbs, 3×8
Cable Row– 150 lbs, 3×8 (slow negative)
Barbell Shrug– 245 lbs, 4×8
Upright Row– 115 lbs, 3×8
Dumbbell Shrug– 65 lbs (each), 3×10 (slow negative)
I felt a pretty good pump when I left the gym, which is a good sign. My total caloric intake for today was 3,050 roughly, which is also pretty good. Hopefully if I can keep things up for a while then I’ll bust through this plateau I’ve been stuck in forever. Tomorrow–legs! My favorite day of the week.
