Good mornings - 4 sets of 10 @ 40kgSo deadlifts....was supposed to do 110kg for deads but didnt see the previous person before me had a 20kg plate on one side and a 25kg on the other. Felt a bit off in warmup with what I thought was 70kg (was 65kg) but thought my alignment was just out and I re-adjusted. All fine. Then loaded up and smashed out my working sets which still felt a bit funny but again adjustment alignment and grip width and ok. Then realised when unloading lol Ah well!

Always blow on the pie, always check the weights!
It can be easy to do aye - sometimes you are going fark this feels heavier than expected, only to find out it is heavier than expected!
My old training bro was a shocker with mismatched weights. Did a set one time of 160 or 170 on the bench with 10kg extra on one side. He just powered through and laughed about it at the end. I'd have taken the safety first approach lol
