My Back & Calves Workout

Hey everybody, I wanna tell you about my workout today. I change up my workout to see how this workout would be. All I can say is Wow! It was crazy! I did some volume training & I got the workout from watching Kai Greene's back workout on Flexonline. When I came home, I was super sleepy but super pumped. I started drinking my pre-workout drink EVOLE by Swole Sports Nutrition. Green Apple flavor which taste really good but it gives you an awesome pump. Lets start with a little warm up on the stationary bike for 5 minutes. Now, the workout is about to start. Warm up with doing Pull-ups superset with dips for 3 sets. Pumping some blood to the muscles. First is upright rows superset with bent-over lateral raises for 3 sets. Next is reverse pec deck for 3 sets. I'm wondering & maybe so are you, why I'm hitting rear delts in my back workout very early in the routine? I had to channel my inner Kai Greene & I realized that the rear delts are used a lot during back training so maybe get them pumped would focus more on the overall upper back look. Now, it's back training time. I did standing pullovers (straight arm pulldowns) & superset with lat pulldowns for 3 sets. Now, I'm getting pumped already due to Evole in my system. Next is T-bar rows for 3 sets with some heavy weight. Next is seated cable rows using a neutral grip & focusing hard on the middle back for 3 sets. Next is one arm db row for 3 sets. Last exercise is deadlifts. You gotta finish off your body with these. Some people like to do it early in the workout. I prefer to finish off with these & still try to go heavy as well. As you can see I went from the upper back down to the lower back. This workout shocked my body & I'm feeling it as I'm typing this to you.

Now onto calves, it was a simple workout. Standing & Seated Calf Raises 4 sets of 20-30 reps. My calves respond when I got heavy with a lot of reps.

That was my workout & I hope you can try this out too. Train hard & smart!!!
