Workout Journal Notes

My back felt a little off today. I’m pretty sure it’s because of a new chair I just got.

It’s one of those zero-gravity deals, and I can’t completely blame it just yet, because I tried to beef it up by adding a giant back support thing.

Maybe I should just try out the actual chair, before going all Tim “The Toolman” Taylor on it!

It didn’t really hinder my workout at all, and I still completed all the reps, plus plan to increase on every exercise next week, but I’d still like my back to be… back.
