In this training blog I am going to go through a training programme that will make you wish you never clicked the link. Due to the current economic danger it is hard to afford the right foods and the right quantities to train for bulking.  At this time of the year where funds are tight I like to use cutting programmes, The food required for this phase of training is far less than strength training | The Gym Days","content":"<blockquote><p style=\"text-align:center;\">Training back and biceps on the same day just makes complete sense, you are engaging your biceps by working on your back muscles so why not add a few extra exercises into your plan or follow this superset plan for bigger bolder biceps.<\/p><\/blockquote><p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/super-shop-365\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/k9pfmlteq0vqbfn3qcsxnoqcolcmcwpuerq4brvapffakkm5.png.png?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"link to super shop 365\" title=\"link to super shop 365\" \/><\/u><\/a><\/p><h2>Rack Pulls, traps and Close Grip cable rows<\/h2><p>I like to get the Deadlifts or rack pulls in first as this is the power move which uses the most energy, it will be hard to do these at the end as your body would have gone through a lot of shit already.<\/p><h2>Start with rackpulls<\/h2><p>Start with a light weight to get the form right and to warm up the necessary muscles.<\/p><p>I start with 15 reps and at the end of each rep perform a shrug.<\/p><p>Straight from this go over to the cables and get 2 handles at the bottom peg.
