Chest & Back -May 19, 2012

Each pair is a superset. Notes on alternatives & video clips are at the end, after the abs.

Warm up for 5-15 minutes on bike/treadmill/stepmill/rower, complete pre-hab/movement prep prior to starting.

Group 1:
Narrow Grip Bicep Pullups 3 sets x 10 reps {If you can't do 10 -do the walk of version of this}

Wide Grip Overhand Pullups 3 sets x 10 reps {same as above}
T Bar Rows 3 sets of 10 reps -At least 45 llbs on this one now! -tip: use smaller diameter weights to increase your range of motion

Yes, this is a lot of pullups. Please refer to the video clip for an alternative. This is a great way to increase the number of pullups you can do, don't be discouraged because you can't do all the reps in a row, use the technique of stepping up to the bar and lowering yourself down. (starts at 40 secs)
OR Use the pull up assist or the elastic bands to help you on your later reps.
