DAY 1 BREAKDOWN:
🔍 Back, Shoulders, & Arms — built around mobility, activation, & intelligent intensity progression. This workout is programmed to activate key upper body muscle groups. The sequencing and rest periods allow for a hybrid goal of hypertrophy, muscle activation, and joint-friendly execution.
🧘 A BLOCK: Activation / Mobility
A1: Cats & Dogs – Spinal segmentation drill to mobilize and warm up the thoracic and lumbar spine
A2: Banded 90-90 – Activates external rotators and stabilizers of the shoulder joint
A3: Reach Backs – Thoracic spine opener to enhance overhead and pulling mobility
🟢 Purpose: Mobilize the spine and shoulders, increase blood flow, and prep postural muscles.
💪 B + C BLOCK: Back Compound Work
B1: Warmup Barbell Row – 50% intensity to activate posterior chain and groove the movement pattern
C1: Barbell Row – Classic hypertrophy driver for the mid and upper back
🟢 Purpose: Build thickness and strength across the lats, rhomboids, and erectors. These rows are your foundational pull for the session.
💪 D + E BLOCK: Vertical Pulling Varitation
D1: Warmup Wide Grip Lat Pulldown – 1 light set to warm up lats and elbows
E1: Wide Grip Lat Pulldown – Target lats and upper back with vertical pulling emphasis. Drive elbows down and maintain scapular control
