Old skool t-bar: worked from 1pie in sets of 10 up to 5pie. at 5p, I did 2 sets of 5 (no straps). then tried my hand at 6p ... and hit 3 reps, dropped it, then did 1 more and dropped it (the 6p were strapped in). not great; but not bad, either.
Pull-ups: natty grip, 3 sets of 10, which is the most pull-ups I've done in years. 
Time ran out, so I called it quits....

Translation for Dan:
Row - back exercise - pulling a weight towards the body with the arm(s). Many variations, basically hinging on the mechanism for applying resistance, the direction of that resistance, and the position of the body during the exercise.
Hammer Strength Low Rows - HS is a type of machine that is plate loaded, with direct resistance rather than cabled - Low row is seated, back straight, arms pulled towards the body at the mid-lower abdomen.
HS High Rows - seated, pad in front of the chest, pulling from above and in front, down to the body
Superset: doing a set of one exercise immediately followed by another exercise generally working a different muscle group.
Pie - a 45lb plate, also referred to as a plate. 1/2 pie is generally a 25lb plate.
Old skool t-bar - normal full size bar is placed on the ground, with one end secured, in a corner or with other weights, while the other end is loaded. The bar is straddled and lifted from above.
natty grip - also called neutral grip.
DB - dumbells - DB Incline would be incline presses with dumbells.
If you continue with lifting, most of the abbreviations are pretty self-explanatory. Standard practice with weights is, if two arms or full body is used then full weight is listed. If each side is independant, i.e. with dumbells or HS machines, weight listed is for each arm/leg.
