back days are KING

BACK DAYYYYY

Our gym's trainer had a chat with me about my goals and we decided to try something cool. He put the weights on and I wasn't allowed to peek at what I was lifting or look in the mirror. Focused entirely on pushing through sets as far as I felt comfortable then do a few on top at the end. Except for the 35lb "kettleball toss" (we used a bench plate cuz my gym sucks for kettleballs) I'm not sure exactly what the weights were but could tell it was heavier than I've done in the past.

Deadlift 5x5 with 3 extra
Kettleball toss 4x10 + 7 extra/failed 5th set
Bicep curl maybe 40s 5x10 + 2 (surprised him lol)
Pulldowns 5x5
Tractor pulls 5x5 + 1
Bent rows 3x5 + 2
Shrugs 5x20

Felt awesome. Veins popping I didn't even know I had. I need to work more on my tris, that's probably for thursday on push day.

/e I guess I have had some progress. Gotta cut a bit I think and I need to hit chest day harder. Like 90% of the gain has been in my back and shoulders. I don't feel that much wider so it's kinda weird to see the comparison.. maybe that's a trick of the camera or something? All my clothes fit about the same tightness and loseness as before (as you can see by my shorts sagging)
Pic 1 was at 190-ish and Pic 2 is at 192-ish.

The more I'm looking at it, the extra width HAS to be a trick of the camera. I'm standing closer to the mirror, that's why you don't see as much of my lower body. Still, you can see the muscle definition starting to shape up, I'm pleased.
