Started working my neck; used a 10lb plate and worked the front, then the back. Likely will consider buyin my own harness as I think it would work a lot better than holding a plate to the front or back of my head. haha.

So I’ve started to plan out and calculate my barbell rows as well. I need to bring these up and work on my upper back. As you can see by the number of reps I got on the last set, I probably miscalculated my EST 1RM. haha. I’ll still ride out this cycle with the current calculations I made and readjust on the next cycle.
