Inverted Row (with feet elevated)

Dips
55x8
70x3x6

This felt like a crappy workout, even though I progressed on bench and dips. I guess I just didn't have much energy for much volume. I don't know when I'll be able to do anything that remotely stresses my lower back. I was putting on shorts Monday when I lifted my leg I had a crazy intense pain permeate my tailbone region and I could barely get up. Its still sore. So that means no squats, deads, bent rows, etc (all the good stuff) for awhile. It blows. And the back thing happened after I woke up to terrible news...so that day really really blew.

First time doing deficit deads, won't be the last. Dips are using two folding chairs with bags of cement to hold them down and a karate belt to hold the plates...pretty ghetto but it works. Overall a good session.
