LRB 365: Strong-15. Week 3. Back

BW - ?200? (scale at office gym said something like 195 which seems like B.S.)

Chins - BWX9, 4, 6, 6, 5

Machine Rows - 4 sets of 10+

Cable Shrugs - StackX25, 30, 30, 35

DB Curls -
20'sX10
30'sX5
40'sX2
30'sX15

Decided to try out the "fitness center" at the office for the first time.  About to start rehearsing 5 days a week so won't be able to get to my gym for all 3 weekly sessions.  Figure this Back/Biceps day is the best suited to a limited, only-machines type gym.

First chins were using the handles on the assisted chin machine.  They're "straight handles" but still separate, and kind of far apart.  Made the movement really awkward.  For the last two sets, I noticed a regular straight bar behind the cable station.  I'll try to use that exclusively if the cables aren't occupied.

Rows were fine.

Shrugs are the worst for this gym because the biggest DB's are 50's.  The stack on the cable station seemed heavier than that, so I used it.

Tried to approximate the over warm-up progression that's been working so well on barbell curls with the dumbbells.  Seemed alright.  My biceps were pumped up afterwards.
