9/1 Back & Delts

Insane workout today. Sitting home before heading to the gym I could just feel my back begging me to pick up some weight and crush it. I think I was just really pumped up to start Prime after anticipating its release and the feedback from other sponsored atheletes. Whatever it was I was ready to kill it in the gym. Worked on upping the intensity by adding in drops and burns on nearly every exercise. Increased weight and reps all over the board. Hit a P-R of 225 for 8 on underhand rows. Upped reps on my last 2 sets of rope pulldowns by +1 from last workout. Rest was kept short and intensity was high! Got a sick pump in my back and delts by the end of the workout. Military press went much better this week, found what weights allow me to get in 2 good warm up sets without fatiguing the delts too much. Followed this all up with an intense HIIT session, ended each sprint thinking "thank god that ones done with". Spending the rest of the day relaxing before I start up class tomorrow. Actually excited since I have 2 exercise science classes with a 3 hour break in between to hit the gym for a killer leg session.
