Back and Biceps workout

For my back workout I also alternate between a high intensity strength day, then a hypertrophy day five days later. Though my rep ranges are generally higher for back and biceps so I achieve a good pump. I also train biceps first to pre-exhaust them. This takes them out of the equation when it comes time for back exercises so your back does more work.

*First number is the weight second number is the number of repetitions (Example: 135x10 = 135 lbs. for 10 repetitions)
*For non-body-weight exercises which go to failure, a spotter is required to perform safely
