Squats
I decided to back the weight off a bit this week as I felt my form could be better mainly that I wasnt pushing through my heels. so

whilst packing away I thought I'd throw in BB row just to hit the back a bit more
40kgs   8/7/6     wow this felt so much better than it used to I think just because im doing it after the chins!
