Fitness Log - Back - Week 6


Deadlift - previous: 72.5kg . now: FAIL
Reps: 5 5 5 
Wow this was SO bad today. The bar I was using was very loose, so the centre portion would rotate inwards when I lifted the weight, meaning I would be hanging on to 75kg with my fingers. It was very bad. Only lifted about 3-4, then dropped to 70, then decided to close off with 60 which was fairly light so I could grip them without letting the bar roll.


Afterward I went to test the rest of the barbells in the gym... and realised my bar was the worst D: damn it. You can literally spin the ends and it spins a few rounds before stopping. Have to try 75 straight again next time... with a tight bar.


Crunches 
Reps : 70
Woo. 70 again. I think I may add another ab exercise to up my game.

Lat pull downs - previous 50kg, now 50kg
Reps: 6 6 6

Did this fairly comfortably, but could be because I'm slightly cheating on Rep 1 of each set by using my body weight. Time to up the weight! Been staying at this weight for too long.

One-handed bent DB rows - 15kg 
Reps: 6 6 6
Ok, think I managed to target my back a bit more, though my arms/shoulders on my left hand felt the most burnt in the last set. The key is to pull my elbow straight up as far back as I can, and hold it there for a sec. Really burns heh.
