So on Monday I just did barbell rows while bending over and it worked my lower back.
I am worried to go in tommorrow because I have to benchpress and I can barely do anything on it and it makes me feel so embarrassed. I can do a bunch for biceps but not benchpress. What should I do? I put 25 lbs on each side and it was hard doing 12 reps each time.
Is it ok also if I am doing the pyramid scheme for all these?

You gotta start somewhere man. Your hips will hurt if your legs are lacking (which yours are) because ultimately your legs are holding up all the weight. Mine used to hurt like a somanabitch until my squats starting improving. Do Not drop deads from the routine, regardless of how much you think they work or don't work your lower back.
I'm gonna be blunt, Verb is right, who gives a flying fuck about how much you put up on each exercise. Use the proper weight, build your strength and the numbers will come by themselves. Don't fall into the trap that alot of people seem to do, stay away from using heavy weights at the expense of form and it will make all the difference in the world. I started with an empty bar...If you can't swallow your embarassment, you will never hit the big numbers.
