deadlift
30 1x5

these were tough, leg still sore from friday. apparently I go too low when I squat so will see if stopping higher next time makes things easier.

these felt pretty good
row

bit of a change-up tonight, dropped the weight on el squats to focus on form and try to get that properly sorted.

these felt really nice, tried to get my chest up first and had my glutes activated for maximum butt efficiency.
rows
30 1x5
47.5 5x5
did these next cos the bench wasn't free, these seem to be progressing nicely.
