Don’t try this at home

Not sure what Alex was thinking when he suggested we do Dead Lifts and Bent Over Rows in the same workout, he must be thinking we are immortal or something

Last nights workout was Back and Traps and we started with 4 sets of standing calf raises into 4 sets of lying down legs curls, then 4 sets of dead lifts (Nothing like trashing your calves and hamstrings before you dead lift), then 4 sets of barbell shrugs.  At this time I could no longer feel the center of my back and next … you guess it, Bent Over Rows for 4 sets

Now picking the barbell off the rack having 135lbs on it felt easy, seeing we just had 315lbs on the bar for shrugs, but when you bend over to start your rows, the center of your back/hamstrings/quad/calves are so exhausted, that start screaming out, ARE YOU CRAZY. 

After we grunted through bent over’s, it was already 7:50pm and we still had 12 more sets to do for Back,(Dead lifts ate up a lot of time) so we took the last 3 exercises (lat pull downs/Low rows/reverse grip pull downs) and did them all together, going from one to the other, resting one person in between sets.

Here is the breakdown

Standing calf raises - 4sets/15+ reps

Lying down leg curls - 4sets/15+ reps

Dead lifts - 135/5reps-225/5reps-315/5reps-315/10reps-315/10reps

Barbell shrugs – 225/315/315/315

Bent over Row – 135/185/205/205

Lat Pull Downs/Low Rows/Reverse Grip Pull Downs/ 4sets each

Mental note; do a machine row the next time you do Dead Lifts with Back
