I dunno why I even do these or b/b for that matter.
Even though I've been known to throw some weight around on the 2 exercises at times.
I just don't seem to get anything from them not matter which style of form I use.
It's just the point of variety for my back that I do these.
Chins, pulldowns and low rows do it more for me.
TapouT Abs:
16 minutes
Target Stretch:
about 20 minutes
Comments:
Solo.
Still a good training day.
I almost had an all raw deadlift day but it's all good.
The primary exercise was 100% raw and I'm good with that.
