Deadlifts

I was feeling pretty good this morning. I was anxious to get a WOD in before we did anything else. I ended up getting my deadlifts in too.

My knee still feels a little weak if I step wrong going down the stairs, but it’s fine. Even with that, my heavy deadlifts today felt great. I just felt well-connected to the bar and weight.

My back, well, more my side, has been nagging me a bit for the past week or so. For that reason, I have been staying on the conservative side for my lifts and WODs. I did that again today, but the heavy deadlift felt pretty good.

The deadlifts for today felt pretty heavy, but they felt great. I did the bare minimum of five reps due to blisters on my hand from a long row the other day. The WOD was deceivingly tough, but in a good way.

Today was much better for me in the garage gym. I felt great doing my deadlifts, then did a WOD and felt great with that. I even got to collect some sunshine on the patio.

Today, my deadlifts felt great. They weren’t super heavy, so they should have felt good. Shortly after that, I got in a nice longer WOD.

My hands are feeling a little raw still today, so I was undecided on whether I wanted to do my deadlifts or wait until tomorrow. I decided to give them a try and they felt surprisingly good.

Today was the type of day that I fully expected to fail my deadlifts. For one, they were very heavy. I was also exhausted.

I really had no idea how I’d do with my strength today after twisting me knee, tripping on one of the poorly maintained sidewalks in Mount Joy. Everything ended up going well. Even my heavier deadlifts felt great!

My deadlifts are still going strong with my starting strength. The presses and squats went pretty well today too.
