Yeah that tracks - Great call on the row; I’d also include a hinge to balance the squats - backpack RDLs or single‑leg RDLs - and a simple carry like a heavy suitcase hold for grip and trunk. Warm up with 3–5 minutes of easy movement, then one or two ramp-up sets for the first lift before the work sets. Use double progression: pick a rep range (like 6–12), stop each set with 1–2 reps in reserve, and when you hit the top of the range on all sets for two sessions, add a little load or a harder variation which, yeah keeps joints happy while giving you steady, boring progress.

My curls are similar and and daily straightening was pulling my that model too until I changed my routine. Start by washing with a smoothing shampoo and conditioner to tame the texture from the get-go. After that, while your that model is damp, apply some argan oil or something slippery to the ends, helps with glide. When it's dry, divide into small sections and use a clip to keep others out of the way. Hold the straightener at a slight angle, not straight down, and pull it through in one fluid motion without stopping. If it catches, pause and detangle that spot with your fingers first. Yeah, I tried rushing once and it was a mess but now it's effortless. Works great.
