That PB Deadlift feeling๐๐.
Since my Herniated Disk L4/L5 just 18 months ago the conventional Deadlift has been a movement which I have been cautious to load too much too quickly.
Since then I have opted for Sumo Deadlifts as you can drive more through the legs and place less stress on the lower back.
However, while doing so I've been sure to build my core strength, including offset carries, pallof press and other core movements. This has allowed me to get stronger but also rebuild my confidence in my body to be able to trust myself in going heavier.
Today was that day. My training and efforts over the last months are paying off.
Every 90 seconds for 6 rounds
120kg x 3 reps
Tempo of 3011 -
3 seconds down
0 seconds at the bottom
1 second up
1 second at the top
Using Tempo is a great way to stimulate stength and muscle growth while not pushing into the 85%+ of 1RM range.
More on Tempo in a future post.
Although this is far less than my lifetime PB, this is a huge win for me and I'm gonna soak it up.
Remember. Trust the process and the results will come.
