Workout card for Deload/Low Volume/Strength Test Push. 18 sets across 4 exercises in 24m 16s: Incline Bench Press, Overhead Press, Crossover, and Lateral Raise. Primary muscles: anterior delts, lateral delts, upper chest, and mid chest. Secondary muscles: posterior delts, upper traps, lower traps, spinal erectors, lower chest, serratus anterior, biceps, triceps, abs, and obliques.

After a few weeks of intense, highish volume training, this week will hopefully be a low volume but high weight week where I test my strength and recover at the same time.
