My goal over the next week is to share with you the workouts I do and how I split them. Today’s post is going to consist of my two-day split for back day. I do back on Sunday and Thursday.

That’s all for now. If you want to try a new back routine, give this one a shot. It is the first time I have built my very own workout routine, so I’m sure there are still improvements to be had. But overall, I’m pretty proud of it!
If you have any suggestions of how I could make it better or any muscle I might be missing, let me know!
