Comments: I had no idea what I was doing until I got of work for this workout so I packed everything into my bag so that I was covered if it was deadlifts or squats. Turned out to be rows. Tried to keep these as strict as I could. I can heave a lot of weight for a lot of reps if need be. Felt pretty good, no pain in my lower back on any of it. Just had to watch the shoulder and biceps. Kind of surprised myself getting over 315lbs on this. Not enough strength to get 335lbs though. Rows took a bit out of my back going into pulldowns. Shoulder and biceps touchy but still did good work. Close but no cigar on getting 10 reps with 280lbs. Abs is where I wasted a good bit of time. I had no idea how wrecked my upper abs were from supports two days ago. I tried cable abs like usually and I immediately had stunning tightness and soreness in my abs trying to bring it down. Lowering the weight didn't help matter so I went with a side bend variation. Took a bit of troubleshooting but it was enough.
