This was overall a good workout. I wanted to do dumbell cleans in the neutral grip for a few more sets, but my low back and legs were so fried from yesterday that I really had nothing. The same was true for bent over row. My hamstrings, glutes, and spinal erectors were really too sore to do a lot of sets. Today I kind of made a conjugate workout because I wanted to get some volume and some heavy work at the same time. I have come to realize that my lats, traps, and biceps are all not only pathetically small, but also weak proportionately to their oppositional groups. This will be a huge focus of my summer training just trying to bring up these weak points.
