This is our final workout of week 7; it needs to be a big one! I’ve traveled to a different gym in Boise to get a change of scenery and expose myself to some new workout equipment. If you’re feeling unmotivated or fed up with the gym you train at, mix it up and go to a new environment to work out in.
Today’s back workout is primarily going to target the lats, so I want you to specifically pay close attention to squeezing your scapula backward together with each rep, to make the muscle fibers bleed. I don’t give a s*** if you’re feeling tired; now is the time to give yourself a push! Get your PRE-KAGED in to raise your energy levels in anticipation of this session—you’ll need it.
