Day 4 (post Insanity): Back

Today's workout was relatively simple. It only focused on the back so the entire workout routine (including warmup) only lasted for about 45 minutes. It is nice to be able to go into the gym get a good workout and come out in such a short period of time.

As for the warmup, I went ahead and did 15 reps to get my muscles going. Out of these exercises, the barbell row as always been my favorite. It really works the back and also the biceps. I think the back being one of the bigger muscle groups, is a hard part of the body to work out. It is highly dependent on the strength of your arms as well.

However, the back is one of the most important muscle groups to workout because it helps your posture on all other weightlifting moves.
