Full Body Pull (Upper and Lower Body)
Today is a full-body pull day. This means you will hit some deadlifts and hamstrings alongside upper-body pulling.
The deadlift starts with lower reps in the first couple weeks of this training block.
Although this is a pull day, some tricep work will be slipped into the program. This is not by accident. There is a relatively low volume of ISOLATED triceps earlier in the week, and there is no better way to end the week than with an awesome ARM PUMP.
