This week’s workout for back is the same as Week 1, but you’ll follow the same exercises, reps, and sets. However, you’ll be considerably stronger at this point, so you should increase the weights to accommodate for this improvement with every exercise.
NOTES:
* In addition to increasing weight, you’ll also reduce rest periods between sets to 90 seconds for all exercises.
* When you perform deadlifts, remember to go all the way down until the plates touch the ground.
* This workout, especially deadlifts, pumps up testosterone and growth hormone for better overall growth.

TIP: Remember to visualize your back muscles as you perform every rep. Study the anatomy chart provided to better understand how each muscle in your back works and emphasize those that are weakest in your physique. At this point in Shattered! you should have a better sense of where your back weaknesses lie.
