Upper Body Strength

Good day today although my pull ups slacked. The difference may be that I changed grip so that my thumb does not wrap around the bar. This is supposed to engage my lats more and is similar to grabbing the top of a wall.

Also, I added my goals to my workout sheet including the progress that I expected for the end of the month. This encouraged me to lift heavier weights and it worked.

Warm Up:

• 50 Jumping Jacks (http://youtu.be/dmYwZH_BNd0)
