FINALLY! Deadlifting again!!

[gettinlarger]

YES! After about 2 months off of deadlifting (a la lower back injury), I finally gave heavy deads a try again. And who would have thought, I set a new PR too!!

I started out with a slow 5 reps with 135, sumo style, then singles from there.
225, sumo
275, conventional.
315, conventional.
335!! I know this isn't very impressive, compared to many of you here at Elite. But I've been working hard to heal this godawful injury, and I'm proud of myself.

I started playin with the different stances too, as I said above. Sumo was kinda cool, but I think I need to work on it. I felt my knee pop on my 225, I think. Oh well.

Congrats!! Sounds like your body has been giving you troubles. Lately, mine has been acting funky. Do you still have pain in the lower back or did that finally pass you?

Thanks man.

Eh, it's there from time to time, but nothing too painful, thank god. Like, now I can bend down and put pants on without agony. Haha.
