Posterior chain and upper back

So because my elbow lit up yesterday I shifted this workout to today just to give it a little more time to settle. I have decided not to deadlift and instead I'm just hitting some posterior chain and some lat work.

Reverse hypers

41" mini band + 35kg 3x8

70kg 3x8

Glute ham raise 10kg 4x12

Hanging ab twists 3x20

Hanging leg raises 3x10

Dumbbell rows 55kg dbs 5x8

Fat bar holds 100kg 4x15 seconds

Sled pulls walking forwards 8x100-ish m

The fat bar holds aren't heavy but worked me enough. My grip had already taken a battering from the stuff before that plus the bar is smooth and I didn't rechalk in order to make it more difficult and thus use less poundage.

This was the first time I had done the sled pulls. These weren't done as sprints but as Louie Simmons describes in the video I have linked below. These really hit my quads, glutes, hips and lower back hard. It was surprising actually. All in all a very satisfying session, although it was pretty hard lol
