Chin ups
Reps: 5 (previous : 4)
Chin-ups were never my strong suit, but it's one of the best back/compound exercises! Works the arms, shoulders, back, all at once! Thus I try to do it. Hope to push it up to 10 within the next few months (the last time I did 10 was when I was in army)
Deadlift - 70kg (up to 666 reps)
Reps: 5 5 5
I have a love/hate relationship with deadlifts. There's something about lifting something heavy that feels good... but i'm getting some serious callouses on my hands. Think it's because my grip isn't very strong, so the bar slips a little as I lift. I would like to stay on the current weight to improve my form too, I'm arching my back a little for some reps.
Crunches
Reps : 50
I basically do till failure, with a rough target in mind. My core was burning at around 30 reps but I pushed to 50.. I would like to aim for 55 next, but the burn...
Lat pull downs - 50kg (up)
Reps: 6 6 5
The lat pull down machine at SAFRA Mount Faber is a bit odd as it requires you to stand up to complete a rep (the bar is really high up). I went up one weight with every set, and didn't really finish the last set.

Back day is quite awesome, because deadlift is my top 2 fav exercises (tog with bench press). My lower back is hella sore the day after though. Ugh.
