Day 1- BACK BICEPS FOREARMS
Reverse grip pull downs- 180x 10 reps, 200x 6 reps, 160x12 reps DS 120x 12 reps
Seated Close grip cable rows- 130x12 reps, 150x10reps, 170x 8 reps DS 100x12
Wide grip lat pull downs super set with behind the back pulldowns- 3 setsx 8-12 reps. i used light weight for a nice pump.
Machine low pulley rows- 3 sets x 8-12 reps. squeezed the muscles hard to make sure i worked them hard.
hyperexstenisions- 4 setsx 15 reps my lower back was really pjmped from these. i used 35lb plate for these
Hammer Curls- 40x 9reps, 35x 12 reps, 35x 12 reps DS 20x 12 reps

BB wrist curls on bench- 3set to failure increasing wait each time then dropset on the last set.
BB reverse wrist curls- 3 sets to failure increasing each time with dropset at end
Notes about workout-
The reverse grip lat pull downs are my favourte pull down. BY the end of the reverse pull downs my lat were allready soo pumped it was hard to do much on the other exercises. Over all i hit the back pretty hard and was satisfied with the weights i used. My bicep workout was amazing by the end i could barely touch my face or bend them that well. My forearms always get super pumped with this work out and have been growing since i started it. Over all this workout was good and i hope to lift more my next back day:)
Oh and by the way this is what my split looks like.
Day1- Chest, Biceps, Forearms
Day2- Legs
Day3- Shoulders, Triceps, Abs
Day4- Back, Biceps, Forearms
Day5- Rest
Day6- Rest
Day7- Repeat

Notes-
The chest part of my workout was not as intense as it could be because my rotator cuff was really annoying me today. i need to do more strengthening exercises for the rotators. The good news s the bicep workout blasted my bis and they were all out pumped with veins everywhere.
