Back and hammy workout:

Today was suppose to be a rest day but since my schedule looks busy tomorrow, I whacked my back today! Went with the higher rep deads due to the shorter rest. More or less, I was breathing heavy after them throughout the entire workout. I matched my best and knew I could have done a couple more, but the hands just gave up first. All in all, gains made.

Chest and biceps workout:

Back and hammy workout:

Felt good going in and it was nice to mix up some of the exercises. Deads are still the focus, but I lost focus after the first set of 415 for 3. It just knock me out, so to play it safe I did a drop with 315 instead of doing another. All in all a great pump as the higher rep dead brought it on.
