HIGH-FREQUENCY BACK TRAINING

Training

Well it is almost a week later and I am still dealing with a tight neck, we have scheduled massage's in a week. I'm hoping it will be gone by then so I can get my back and legs worked on more than whatever strain I have in my neck! Nothing fancy at all going into day two and three of this week. Movements I do not usually do listed below are heavy side laterals (cause I normally cheat the entire movement) and also this week cause my neck is strained. I did them but was regulated, surprisingly they did not bother me too much. The upright row, on the other hand, I had to bail on. This caused a good amount of pain in the neck and I am not a fan of that movement, to begin with.
