Sometimes, even when you're a powerlifter, you just want to hit the gym and get a massive f*%&ing pump. This was one of those days. Here's what I hit:

  • Facing-Away Lat Pulldown: 4 sets of 20/15/12/10 reps, adding weight each set. Rest 90 seconds max between sets.
  • (Superset) Hammer Strength Lat Pulldown with Bands/Wide-Grip Seated Row: 3 sets of 10 reps each. Make sure to check out the

    rear-delt row, too.
  • Progressive Pulls: Sets of 6 to a top set. To perform progressive pulls, begin with barbell rows up to a top set of six, then transition into deadlifts to a top set of 6, then into shrugs. Add weight each set, rest 2-3 minutes between sets, and no sets should have fewer than 6 reps.
  • (Superset) Alternating Incline Dumbbell Curls/Dumbbell Upright Row: 2 sets of 15-20 reps. No rest between supersets.
  • (Superset) Reverse Curls/Band Pull-Aparts: 2 sets of 15-20 reps. No rest between supersets.
