1/10/12 – Tuesday – Lats/Back

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Lats/Back:
For an idea on what weight to use, if you are shooting for 8 reps on an exercise, it should be tough to reach that 8th rep, but not impossible.  Use your first set as a benchmark.  If you are able to perform 20 repetitons when you are going for 8, then you need to increase your weight significantly.  If you are able to get 10 reps, then up your weight used slightly, or leave it the same as the 2nd set will be a bit tougher.

Perform 4- 8 reps of each set. Perform 3 sets.    Having trouble with Pull Ups?  Read how to develop pull up strength.
