It’s been a couple weeks since I deadlifted. It’s not how I like things to go, but with all the races lately, I’ve had to conserve my legs a little bit. That’s going to slow down now and through the summer, so I’ll be able to get back in the weights hard again.
That said, my deadlift doesn’t appear to have suffered from the relaxed tempo. I pulled this, 255 lbs, 8 times today on my last set, and didn’t feel like I was straining too hard to do it. I probably even quit a couple reps early, but I’m okay with that, since deadlift is one motion that can go terribly wrong if you let your form go to crap. It makes me excited for the next couple months, to see the next big jump in gains!
