2nd week of doing deadlifts 4 times a week
Feeling bloody good doing them though, only put on a belt for last 3 sets of the 10 setter today, whereas earlier in the year I'd have the belt for anything over 120.
-
So day 10 of 12 doing deadlifts every workout today was 7 sets of 5 at 130kg - 4,550kg volume
Weight wasn't an issue but definitely feeling fatigue from doing them.
Can feel it in my mid/upper back more than I have before (which isn't a surprise given I've really made sure I engaged my core, lats and shoulders before lifting)
Think ill skip deads in my workout tomorrow and Wednesday is rest day so ill finish this 3 week thing on Thurs/Fri.
TR jnr videoed me yesterday and am pretty happy with the technique I got going, so much better than what I had been doing which put more stress on my lower back.
-
Finished my 3 weeks of deadlifting 4 times a week.
Today was hard work , but did all 10 sets without needing the belt, so pretty happy about that.
-
Fuck yeah, new deadlift pb at 175.
Did my old pb at 165 pretty easily so chucked another 10 on and was pretty good lift too, only put belt on for 175 as well.
Fucken stoked, 25kg more than best lift this year!

Unsure what I have done, but my 'expert' opinion it is somethign to do with my ribs, but what?
Who knows!
Last week I could feel it on the left front and left back when I took a deep breath, today, is just on the front/left.
Doesnt really stop me doing too much, worst is when I get in bed the first few breaths are shallow then I am fine.

Shit that sucks Mate. Hopefully it goes over in the next couple of days. Could it be the way you sleep?

@rancid-schnitzel I dont think so (only usually sleep on my back)
I felt it last Tuesday when I tried to lift a heavy deadlift, been getting better, albeit slowly.
I have a vague recollection of a similar feeling when I restarted the gym last year and put the weight belt on a bit tight.

Deads are a weird exercise, it’s easy to make big initial gains ( or maybe regains is a better word ) but if you get excited about doing well, smash them to failure and don’t have enough rest days it’s easy to suddenly regress again.
It’s no wonder serious weightlifters and powerlifters have structured programmes they follow to a tee.
They assist heaps with other pulling exercises like pull ups and chin ups bloody well too.

Might be an intercostal strain?
I’ve had that before.. the worst was when there was pollen in the air and I couldn’t stop sneezing. Every sneeze hurt and was immediately followed by a swear word. Sounded like I had tourrets
-
@duluth just asked Uncle Google and sounds possible.
@taniwharugby I've had intercostal strains at least 5 times and they take 2 weeks to go away. Most important is to avoid sex and laughing.

@wairau oh damn, wish I'd known that yesterday...wife asked if I wanted sex and I laughed cos I thought she was joking...

reaggravated my strain about 10 days ago (not as bad as initially) but still slight strain.
Seems only deadlifts that bother it, so after having done these pretty much every workout for a month, having now only done them once in a month is frustrating to say the least (yes I was trying deadlifts when I aggravated it - only lighter at 120kg)
Battling with my weight at present, sitting just under 100kg

Ah that’s shit. It’s the back isn’t it? Do you have one of those pads you can warm up in the microwave to place on your back? I’ve found them to be really effective.

@rancid-schnitzel yeah pretty much, is all but ok now, so I'm probably gonna give it another week before testing it, just to be sure.
I have been using a wheat pack and yep, they are good

Just use Deep Heat. That cures absolutely everything.

looking back over my posts, been about 6 weeks since I hurt myself, extended due to impatience a couple of weeks back.
So did 5 sets of deads for first time in 6 weeks, only went upto 120kg (x5 reps) and then did 3 sets of 5 at 100kg as well and felt fine.
So will start easing back into these as I try to get my weight back up again, workouts have been a bit flat in recent weeks due to not being able to do deads!!
-
had posted some time back about front squats and the struggle with my flexibility mainly.
Have been working on them the past few weeks, and did a PB of 100kg, failed on 110kg.
Only issue I notice is that when I am squatted down, my right glute sits lower than my left (I know my right hip flexor is generally tighter than my left) so have found some exercises for my hips to do, so will see what that does!
This guy (on YT & IG) has some good stuff...dude has been diagnosed with Cancer

Upto 150 on dead today, while still well short of my PB it was a PB without straps or belt, body feeling pretty good, especially with the hip mobility stuff I been doing.
