  • Notes
    • When I attempted this 2 days ago I was only able to do 4 x 5 at 16 kgs. I also 5 pullups between ea set and rested a lot. I also used the rest time to work on my computer (while standing slouched over my desk). I'm not sure what did it, but I tweaked my mid-upper back. I tried stretching, breathing it out but it persisted for 24+ hours. So this time I took out the pullups and walking around rather than doing computer work (which sounds pretty damn obvious in hindsight).
