High volume back workout

Today was high volume, with light-to-medium weights.  I worked up to about 75% on deadlift for 4 sets of 3.  That, I would consider as set volume, not rep.  I then hit rep volume on rows and flies, and rounded out with a good amount of abs and grip as I'll have until Tuesday to recover.

Everything felt pretty good.  The deadlift sets of 3 were done in part without a belt.  My abdominal focus was actually on low-back and obliques, due to the tie-in with deadlifting.  All the rows were done to focus on the bottom of my lats and rhomboids; they were more motion/angle focused, than weight.  

I didn't eat as much as I should have before the lift.  I probably only consumed 55 grams of protein, but did make sure to drink enough and actually had some Pedialyte. For those not "in the know", Pedialyte is great for hydrating quickly.  I also like to drink it the day before a big workout/event, to make sure I'm properly hydrated.

In addition, I had some MusclePharm Amino1 and Arnold Iron Whey before I lifted, and actually sipped the balance of both, throughout the lift.

As for today's workout, here you go:

Brian joined me, but he benched.  This all took me about 90 minutes, give or take.
