It’s been over a week since I’ve done any rows. Even so, my upper back has experienced tons of ridiculous DOMs since last Monday. It’s nice to experience this new way of programming for strength because I’m learning that cleaning axles, cleaning logs, farmer walks, sandbag loading, etc, seem to be plenty to work my upper back.
