Added reps to the curls, and weight to the pullovers.

Legs and Back

BW - 209

Single-Leg Extension Eccentrics - 4X12 (straight-weight)

Single-Leg Curls - 3X20 (straight-weight)

Chins -
Warm-up - BWX3, 3
BWX12, 5, 5, 5

Chest-Supported Row -
70X10
95X8

Still just cobbling together leg and back work that doesn't involve a lot of low back.

Upped the weight and reps slightly on the final set of hacks.

Decided to do chins instead of pullovers.  So much more bang-for-the-buck, it seemed dumb not to do them when there's so much I can't do.

Upped the reps a tad on the final set of Rows.

Bird-Dogs and Side Planks - 2 rounds

Saw a new physical therapist yesterday, and have some new protocols for dealing with my low back AND my shoulder issues.  Until he clears me for barbell squat and deadlift variations, I will continue doing upperbody bodypart specialization programs such as this one, and cobbling together body-building style work for legs and back that are low-impact on my low back.
