Chest & Back Workout + 3x30 Bodyweight One Leg Elevated Glute Bridge
I tried out the Cable Wide Lat Pulldown. I might need to practice more with 45lbs weight until I could get all the pull from my lats. When I tried 50lbs, I started to feel it on my triceps, so no good. On last set, I moved back down to 45lbs and I think I will stick to this weight until I get it right.
With Hammer Wide Lat Pulldown, I think I got better control using my lats.
Seated Cable Row actually felt good for me. I could feel my lats engaged more with a bit some from biceps.

Lighte glutes + Back and Shoulder Workout
decided to do another week of Back and Shoulders instead Back and Chest. I might want just do more Back and Shoulders to train my shoulders a bit more in addition to Sunday's KB which mainly already shoulder centric for the most part.
For Thursdays, I could always just throw in 1-2 set of chest oriented workout such as Incline Chest Fly (with DB or the peck deck machine), or Hammer Incline Chest Press or even just the good old push ups.
I was going to try out that BB Squat for 20 reps but today wasn't the day I had the most pump so probably next time. It'll be interesting how much I could do. I might start off really light weight like 50-55lbs. I might try out with Back Squat just for testing. Maybe next Thursday I'll give it a try.
Mobility Warm Up
BB Hip Thrust (5 risers) / DB Bent Over Rear Delt Raise
135lbs x 30 - did 15-7-4-3/ 5lbs x 15
145x30 - did 15-10-5 /5x20
155 x 30- did 15-5-5-5 /5x20
Note: First set I might put my feet a bit too far so I felt more burn on my hammies. Last 2 sets were the best, as always. I managed to add more weight too.

Back, Shoulders and Arms
My today's upper body workout. The beauty of not having to rush things around. I had a little trouble falling asleep last night and even was wide awake a bit earlier than 4am without any alarm. But I laid down half asleep until 6am then did the usual morning stuff before gym.
I implemented the machine assisted pull up as my trainer DebbyK suggested. In between my upper body sets, I sneaked in some pull up stuff with the machine. I used less assistance. Not sure the weight since the top 5 weight stacks above 10lbs weight stack weren't labeled so I just indicated how many weight stacks that I was using. I did total 15 reps of machine assisted pull up (overhand grip).
And as usual I also sneaked in some bodyweight leg stuff (6 sets hammies/posterior chain moves and 3 sets quad centric moves)
Tomorrow I might actually go to one of those Zumba classes at LA Fitness. Should be something fun and different to do on non weight day as now I have the time.

Back, Shoulders & Arms
Did similar rep range/sets style as my Tuesday lower body - heavy weights with high reps.
I took weights that I usually could do for 8-10 and pushed through 15 reps. Only main lifts - did 2 warm up sets for each main lifts and 2 working sets - trying out BAHT style. Very minimal rest other than switching/loading weight plates and recording my sets on my phone.
Such a killer! Hammer Shoulder Press destroyed me. Same as Hammer Wide Lat Pulldown. BB Row - I think I might skimp the last 2-3 reps to get full ROM.
