June 14 - Exercise 38: Back and Biceps

I can't believe we are in Week 6! Nice.

I will say I am confused why my back muscles, though developed, aren't as strong as they were earlier? Maybe that's what they mean by continuously challenging your body so it doesn't plateau - these pullups are impossible sometimes!

This time around, I tried to up the weight, lower the reps.
