Fitness Log - Back - Week 7

Deadlifts . - 75kg (up to 75 77.5 75)
6,6,6
Used a good bar this time, so no rotating bar issues this time. My grip isn't quite there yet, so I put on gloves on the last set which helped a tonne. Think I can up the weight to a 75 pyra, as I don't wanna rush it and want to develop my grip strength

Crunches - 60
Lol, was tired/lazy today and did only 60 reps.

Lat pull downs - 54kg
6,6,4
I actually did all 6 reps on the last set, but it was not continuous and I had to stand and sit. I think I will stay at this weight, so I can focus on strict form and pull my elbows all the way back.

Bent over DB rows - 15kg
6,6,6
This was too easy. Shall up the weight to 17.5, or 8 reps. Very tricky to maintain strict form, have to be very conscious of my arm upward trajectory.

Suspended Leg Raises 
2 sets of 10 reps
Threw this in for fun. Not sure how much it's really hitting my abs, felt more of a core exercise.

Assisted chinups
50kg assist, 6reps
I really want to add chinups to my back workout, but I'm always so tired from deadlifts that I can barely do one normal one! I will start with doing assisted, and work on hitting 8 reps for that assisted amount, and slowly wean off the assists.

--
I kinda wanna add more rows to this... the gombak gym has this nice standing row machine, but mount faber safra doesn't have. I tried the barbell row but it felt weird on my back so decided not to. Maybe I should just lower the weight. Hmm. Think will try to add it in next time, doesn't feel like im working my back enough.
