Terrible. Money's been tight, I work in a kitchen 10 hours a day sweating my ass off not being able to eat.
Welp there is your answer

Lord please give me my deadlifting strength backhow the fukk I get stronger on all these other compound lifts but deads went to shyt. I swear nothing carries over to deadlift
What really helped me was really engaging my lats.
Since the deadlift can be looked at as two separate movements (lift off + lockout), use your core and legs for the former and lats for the latter.
Doing that, I was able to add another 30-50 pounds ( depending on the variation) without the use of a weight belt. And no lower back fatigue because the lower back really doesn't do any of the work.
Gain muscle and tone up (Isn't that like the same thing?). I would also like to become more flexible.
I made a thread about it, post help in there pls.

Also, what do you mean by "increas your indurance". Is that like, with running?

Naw, gaining muscle is different than toning up. With gaining muscle is more to do with size and tone is really density or you can see the cuts of the muscle more. But being toned does not mean your not strong.
With endurance is basically longevity, or how long you can do something before you get tired. Say at first you can only stay in the gym for 30 mins before you get tired. You build up your endurance so you can stay in the gym 1hr before you get tired, it's just like running. At first you can only run for 5 mins, but then you build your endurance up so you can run for 15 mins, then 30 mins.
I'll post something in your thread.

Can’t move with me in this digital space
Got to the gym and forgot my head phones Almost felt like walking out but my kids were already in the kids place. Said fukk it and did 60 minutes of cardio. Was watching the Hilary Clinton trial and some Law and Order with the 
face the whole time.

Chins>> Lat pulldowns because compounds>>isolation but hey if you're getting the results you want then do what you prefer most.I remember doing weighted chins at a gym I used to go to... some lady said "I HATE that you can do that"
I don't fukk with chins anymore though. Easier to control form and choose grip on lat pulldowns.

Lat pulldowns are not an isolation movement.

Last two upper & lower sessions were a nice way to finish up my strength week.
Yesteday's lower body session
Front squats 6 x 4 - 135,145,155,165,175. Also did 185 for 3 reps.
Walking lunges 5 x 5 30 lbs, 40 lbs, 50 lbs, 60 lbs, 70 lbs
RDL's 6 x 4 125, 135, 145, 155 165, 175. Might switch to 5 x 5 for rdls next time.
This morning's upper body session
Flat Bench 6 x 4 155, 165, 175, 185, 195. Did 205 for 3 reps.
Weighted pull ups 6 x 4 BW, 5 lbs, 10 lbs, 12.5 lbs 15 lbs (3 reps), 15 lbs (2 reps)
Military press 6 x 4 75, 85, 95, 105, 115 ( 3 reps). Couldn't do 1 rep @ 125.
Underhand Barbell row 6 x 4 85, 95, 105, 115 (3 reps), 115 (2 reps), 120 (Failed to do 1 rep)
Weighted Dips 6 x 4 20 lbs, 25 lbs, 30 lbs, 35 lbs, 40 lbs, 45 lbs (3 reps)
Also gonna cut out the isolations from my upper body workouts since my left elbow has been feeling funny this week. Plus those lifts aren't worth the possible injury.
