Upper Body Triad Final Day!

This is the final day and workout 9 of this series! In workout 1, I started with bodyweight or lighter weight and moved up in workouts 2/3/4, and then did bodyweight again in wk 5, improving over my old/initial numbers. I went fairly aggressive on that bump, which I discussed in this video.

In workouts 6/7/8, I increased all the weights again compared to that first time through. Here in wk 9, I once again went back to bodyweight! The reps were very very high overall, so it was a long workout even though it was just 3 rounds.

I have updated the below for how all my sessions looked, because this provides a nice picture of example progressions:

A1 - Lateral crawling pushups
A2 - Single arm rows with ring
A3 - Standing braced sandbag shoulder lateral raise
