Upper body pull
Onto another back day! You will see this week that there is a lot of movement variety from week 1. Although the exercises are changing, there is a lot of overlap between the movements selected this week and those from last week. You will have to create a new baseline for the weights you are using today, but your execution from last week should give you some indication of how to execute this week.
