Just finished up my back lift. Went really well, but I gotta give some props to this guy who was squatting. He was legit pausing at the bottom with his ass pretty much touching the floor and squatting 340. Now he was only doing 1 rep, but I can’t even get in that position with no weight without falling over. This shit was impressive. Also my knees hurt just watching lol.

12/9 - Back/Traps (Bens Mass Gain Routine #2 - week #11)

*Focus on solid form with good stretch and contraction, 2-3 minute rest between working sets*

Meadow Rows: warmups: 25x15, 25x15 ... working sets: 80x10x4 (pull with elbow)

DB Single Arm Dead Stop Rows: working sets: 115x8x3 (let db rest in floor at bottom of each rep so you can’t use momentum on way up, have to start from dead stop)

*fascia stretch for 1 minute each lat, twice*

Lat Pulldowns: 150x10x4 (facing away back curled over machine leg pad- neutral grip)

Stretchers: 105x10x2 (slow reps full stretch)
