Progression, stagnation

Reverse Lunge w/ 40kg x 8 (L&R)
Good Morning w/ 60kg x 11
Hook Grip w/ 60kg holding for +/- 30 seconds.
Bent-Over Row w/ 60kg x 11 + 2N
PBN w/ 40kg x 5 + 3N
OAC w/ Dbl Loop Red Band & 2 Finger Assistance: 8N
Curl w/ 26kg x 10 + 2N
Tricep Extension w/ 36kg x 9 + 3N
Negative Rings Dips w/ 10kg x 12

Notes:
-The Reverse Lunges seem a good exercise if you don't 1) Push off with your back foot
2) Lean your upper body into the forward motion. The groove needs to be greased and I'm sure in a matter of days I'll be doing exercise more efficiently. This will allow me to take it closer to failure.
-I have incorporated Hook Grip Holds to be able to increase my deadlift max and to make sure I'll be able to add some Snatch Grip work soon, as I knew this grip made it hard to consistently add those to my repertoire.
-Bent-Over Rows seem to be progressing well, although I should watch out not to look down while doing this exercise as this tends to shorten the range of motion.
-I decreased the assistance with One arm chinups and double looped a lighter band. The 2 finger assistance of the non-working hand will ensure I don't place any undue strain on it and will shift the bulk of the load to the appropriate side.
