My forearms were sore from the other workout days, so my grip strength lagged a little. Shoulda brought my straps but I want to work on grip strength too.
This workout of the others was the hardest to "feel". The rows were ok, but the pull ups felt clunky, the shrugs too light and the spider rows were equally hard to feel in the right muscles. I'm still sore but wanted a more localized feeling.
Oddly my shirts are already feeling tighter. If it persists I'll feel great but maybe its just water gain. Maybe at the end of the 4 weeks I'll get a pic to compare to the one above
I skipped my leg day yesterday for a family thing so maybe I'll hit it today.
