Day 18! Back day is the best day! Smashed this lift and have several drop sets in here! Killer pump and also threw in core!


The primary muscles that we are working here is going to be lots, but all of these are compound so you will be hitting all of your back as well. And we are hitting biceps secondary. 

Make sure you are reading the description in each and every lift in watching the videos to make sure you’re doing everything right. Let’s kill it!

- Use an overhand, medium to wide grip 
- Start with arms completely extended 
- Pull up as high as you can getting chin equal or over bar
- These should be very slow and controlled
- Slowly lower back down and make sure to fully extend to a hang before pulling back up
- 1 hard set til failure plus partial reps

Pull Ups

- Hold the bar with your palms facing you
- Pull up engaging your back 
- Go up until your chin goes past the bar
- Use controlled form and do 2-3 partial reps after failure

Chin ups til failure plus partials

- Grab the bar with a shoulder width overhand grip (Use a bar that HS a V taper it possible)
- Pull down towards the top of your chest
- Slightly lean back on the lift 
- Pull your elbows down to your sides
- Engage your lats as you pull
- Squeeze your shoulder back and down as well
- Extend your arms to return the bar to starting position
- First set is hard set, almost til failure
- Next 2 sets are heavier and til failure plus partials 
- Drop set after set 3
- Then another drop set after that! 
- (for the drop set, rest about 20-30 seconds…do not immediately start it)

Medium grip overhand lat pulldown

- From an incline bench laying on your back
- Curl dumbbells up towards your shoulders
- Keep elbows pointed to the floor
- Lower slowly back to starting position
- Rep range should be around 8-12
- After set 3, lower the weight and do drop set
- Drop set again after set 4

Incline dumbbell curls

- Hanging from the bar, keeping your legs extended 
- Raise up while keeping your core tight to form an “L” with your body
- Some reps you raise legs directly in front
- Some reps you raise legs to the left or right using obliques primarily 
- Lower legs back down
- Avoid swinging

Hanging leg raise variation (2)

- Us an elevated surface higher than the original seat. (Box or dumbbell)
- Pull the attachment in towards your body
- Keeping your body neutral and core engaged
- Elbows drive towards your hips, squeezing your lats and shoulder blades
- Pause at contraction then slowly return to starting position
- First set hard warmup 
- Next 2 sets hard pushing to limit (Failure)
