Back, Light Glutes & 15 min steady state cardio on the spin bike

BB bent over row
45x15 - easy
55lbs x 15 - moderate
65lbs x 12 - need to focus evenly pulling- notice imbalances on left/right
55lbs x 12 - felt triceps burn on left?
55lbs x 10 - left side felt weak today

For some reason, my left side couldn't pull as well thus I had to move down the weight back to 55 lbs. When I watched myself in the mirror, I see how my left/right side looked imbalance when pulling back the bar. It's like my right side was doing most of the pulling.

15min moderate pace spin bike (#15 resistance)

I was hoping to do 20 minute steady state spin bike, but I ran out of time. Even 15 minutes was quite pushing my time. Good thing the traffic was ok so I still got to work on time.

It was a nice change from an all out HIIT which recently started to make me dreading it.
