A-3-Back and Shoulders (1)

I had a great workout tonight. Energy levels were way up and I worked through this session with alot more focus and intensity than I have in previous back/shoulder workouts especially since the last time I trained back and shoulders in the A-cycle.

Definitely stronger here. My last working set last time was at 175 lbs.

Dumbbell Deads

When I first started doing this workout, the transition and demands of doing and going from the t-bar row to dumbbell deads was exhausting. I complained of lower back stiffness. The weight was a challenge. Now? The lower back stiffness is gone, it was challenging but I wasn't sucking wind (between both of these exercises) and I increased my poundages by 10-15 lbs. here.
