This workout felt amazing
I got a chance to work on my poverty pull ups Getting them up to something serious will result in a bigger back and a stronger grip which will help my deadlift a lot
The high rep bench gave me a good chance to work on my form(although it’s so light I still feel it provides a benefit) while putting in blood on my pressing muscles and help them recover
Same goes for the high rep deadlift,although I got a pump really quick.I wanna work up to the point where I can do 50 reps straight no problem
At the end I did some work for some of the more neglected muscle groups,so that was nice too
