Concept/Explanation: Today was an easier day in the weight room. My main focus was Traps and Lats, obviously, and with that I did very slow repetitions (1.5 sec in, 1.5 sec out) to really work on quality and control. Doing a mixture between Traps and Lats, both groups were able to constantly recover so I could execute each set perfectly. Since I had time constraints, I busted through a quick killer ab routine. Very self-explanatory, and if you have 10 min extra a day, you should get this one in.
