Back & LIght Glutes Workout

BB Pendlay Row / V up abs 20x
45lbs x 15 - got full ROM entire reps
3x45lbs x 12- only managed to 12 - last 2 were tough to get full ROM

DB One Arm Row
25lbs x 12 @each
25lbs x 10 @each
25lbs x 10@each - last 2 were tough,didn't get full ROM

I think I'll stick to 25lbs for now and will record another video when I'm doing it again.

*No rest, only switching sides

Seated Cable Row / weighted sit up 10x (11lbs med ball- no weight on last set)
3x 20lbs x 12 - kept shoulders down & pull from lats - no rounding shoulders

Question: 20lbs is the weight on each side so total weight is actually 40lbs. Should I write it as 20lbs or 40lbs?

Back Workout & Light Glutes

With the ones supersetted with abs, I pretty much moved from one to another, almost non stop. For single Arm DB Row, resting was only switching sides.

Pendlay row was quite tough to get full extensions and pulling solely from my lats, not arms.

45lbs x 15 x 3 - hard last 5 reps

DB One arm row (rest only switching sides)
20lbs x 15 x1 @ each

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.

One Arm DB Row
30lbs x 12@each - left felt ok on this
30lbs x 12@each- good set
30lbs x 12@each - good set/struggled last 2

Seated Cable Row
20lbs x 15 - moderate weights
27.5 lbs x 8 - need to pull in more to chest to feel upper back contraction
27.5lbs x 8 - focused on pulling in more
27.5lbs x 8

Standing Cable Hip Abduction
3x 12.5lbs x 15@each

Standing Cable Straight Leg Back Raise
3x 17.5lbs x 15@each

Standing Cable Hip Adduction
7.5lbs x 15@each - too light
9lbs x 15@each - good weight - felt inner thighs burn/ tensions
9lbs x 15@each
9lbs x15@each

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.
