I’m trying to focus on setting myself up to be able to put on some mass over the course of the next couple months so I’m holding on to as many calories as I can before the upcoming training block.
A. I built only up to 70kg, then I started to feel pinching in my shoulder so I stopped here.
B. Skipped
C. Done Rx That one was a tough! I’m so proud of me that I’ve finished it Rx. Fastest round: 2:30 Slowest round: 3:22
D. Done Hip ext. @5/ 10/ 15kgs
Bat wings @16kgs
Should I have my shoulder blades protracted or retracted in the bottom of this exercise?
