1x8x70
1x10x30 (for pump)

COMMENTS:
I think the smith bar only weighs 25 lbs because of counterweights, so subtract 20 lbs from those weights
Shoulders hurt today, think I overworked them recently
Was at a different gym today, normally I don't have a smith machine for use

Not really sure I just saw this program and really liked the looks of it. It's called the madcow intermediate though so maybe it's the same

Bill Starr 5x5 - Madcow Intermediate or Linear Version

Well they are both machines. The low row has 2 handle things and you sit on the floor. The mid row also has 2 handles but they are bars and you sit on a seat and pull it at chest level. Both machines only go to 160 at my gym, otherwise I could do a lit more on the low row.

Um...they are right in my log under rows. Those are barbell rows
