94 Days of No Deadlift - Back with a BOOM
It's been 94 days since I last deadlifted, combo of my quad tear, then shoulder injury and then for the last 10days I've been ill with a heavy flu. Still not feeling great but my gym itch was proper getting me, so I decided it was time to go in for a sesh. I kept the reps low as I'm still coughing up loads of shit, so decided to take a weight over volume approach, with extended rest periods also. Got to admit was soooo please. Good strength throughout. Started all my first lift with overhang grip and fat gripz. Kept the fat gropz on up to 160kg before I took them off. Here is my last set. Not too heavy with 210kg. But seeming it's been over 3 months, I was extremely pleased, as this would be a decent lift on a good day. Feeling like all my accessory work, which ticked me over during my recovery, has worked. Could have gone probs another 20kg-30kg heavier. But no need to push too hard too fast.
