Decided to get a regular oly bar DL baseline today. Its been over a year since the last time I pulled so it was pretty wimpy. My back is by far still the limiting factor.
DO Oly DL Conv
5x140, 2x235
2x285
2x325
2x345 (tough)
I've started lifting with my heels together (froggy)and am finding it a lot easier to get to the bar and into position. I'd never tried it before but I've been working with Adam for a few weeks now and have been trying quite a few new ideas which seem to be paying off so far.
Jason, I ruptured my L5/S1 Disc almost 15years ago. The fragments of the disc still give me sciatica from time to time and it is a fairly unstable joint after that. Its about as good as its ever going to be right now. I can get the back muscles stronger to hold everything together when I say DL but it feels like its gonna bust loose in a bad way when I pull heavy. Most I've Deadlifted since the injury is 410 and that took a very long time to work up to. At this point I'm just happy to not be in pain every day.
