Decent leg workout, may work on higher volume sets next session. Today’s random push/pull session for upper body felt incredible. The wide NG low cable rows pumped up my upper back and rear delts, benching felt easy and stable. Also a huge chest pump was achieved with the flys and DB pull overs, may need to integrate these back into my normal routine now that i’m able to feel the movements.

GREAT workout! Felt really nice to pull 500 again. Unlike before, I left the gym feeling the same/better than coming in; no sore lower back or tight muscles. This time, I’ll make sure not to overdo the big compound lifts like I had before. Learned to cue myself to engage the lats throughout the pull with higher rep (8-12) SLDL.

Great chest workout. Wanted to do DB pull overs last, but had to make due with the time and equipment I had available. Been doing banded spider crawl 2 or more times a day, a minute each session. They seem to be helping with my shoulder stability a lot.
