Thursday - Lifting (Pull)

First time doing the "pull" workout. First numbers, then thoughts.

Deadlift:
-8x135
-5x225
-3x5x275
Bent Over Row:
-8x95
-4x6x155
Pullup:
-6xBW + 30
-5xBW + 20
-2x6
DB Single Arm Pendlay Row:
-8x45
-4x6x50
Crunches:
-3x25
Bicep Curls:
-2x10x25

Thoughts:
-I have now found glaring weaknesses in my previous workouts. I did not do nearly enough pulling, and my grip suffered because of it. Also, doing pullups with 35 or even 20 lbs after deadlifting and rowing is just not feasible right now. I will do bodyweight until I can do 4x6, then I will add weight.
-Threw in the curls because I felt like it. With this type of workout, I can throw in related exercises at the end if I feel they have not been worked hard enough.
