Post workout - back, delts and traps!

Here’s a few pics after one of my workouts on the 28th April 1990 in the dungeon.

This was in the run up to my professional debut at the Night of Champions in the States where I placed second.

Some of the exercises I did in the workout included:
- Close grip pulldowns
- Reverse grip barbell rows
- Dumbbell shoulder press
- Machine shrugs

During this time too, I was performing two working sets to failure and would in two years time reduce it down to one as per Mike Mentzer’s feedback. I was essentially doing an extra set with roughly a 10% reduction in weight and hammering it to failure just to make sure the message was sent.
My training back then was already brief, but Mike advised I make it even briefer and it worked.
