Upper Body Power (Slightly Modified)

SPRING HAS FINALLY SPRUNG!

It was a beautiful day outside today, so I decided to do some yard work. Surprisingly, my lower back felt great after the continuous squatting down/bending sideways/etc (most likely due to all the stretching!)

Tomorrow is Lower Power day, but I don’t think I will be able to do much proper lifting until my lower back is fully recovered. I suppose this week would be a great time to have a deload and really try focusing on my form.

Anyway, here is today’s workout:
