    A nice pairing is bent over rows, so you get the lower back, hammies and a bit of glutes, with the lats and upper back targeted by the rows.
    Let us know how it goes!

    I did it. Awkward. I've done one handed bent over rows, with my knee on a bench before. Those worked, this one with both hands and standing up needs me to look at some more youtubes and work on the shape and form of it. I'll keep trying.

    RDL are on point. Next time I'll try deadlifts.

    Thinking about it, I’m not sure how easy bent over rows would be with a smith machine 🤔 this is a half decent vid

    Makes sense. You don't need to deadlift to keep hinge movements in the program...
