7-5-04 Monday Back and Biceps (10 minutes of cardio)
Today was a very low energy day, and sleep schedule was off. I was also feeling some strain in my lower back on both sides. I didnt want to pull anything out for the up and coming bench day on thursday. Not a good workout overall, but I got it done. Im still taking some time off deadlifts to recover my lower back as well as focus on the upper back more. For biceps I focused on hammer curls mostly since Im looking to add thickness to my brachialis. Im hitting biceps twice a week now, on back day the emphasis is mostly on hammer curls. My gym just closed down today, so Ill be training at other Gold's Gym locations for a while. Im throwing in 10 mins of cardio occasionally to see what happens. Heres the routine:
