Dungeon in progressTo say the past few days have been wet and windy is a bit of an understatement. Whilst certainly nowhere near as bad as parts of the US recently, it’s been enough to partially tear the aging garage door from the hinges.

I made the most of a brief sunny period this afternoon to realign the door (there’s a new one on the way in any case), hang up a battery-powered lantern (rechargeable of course) and clear a bit of space for deadlifts. After a bit of a break, and given that this is the only time for months that I’ve done these from the floor, I was curious to see how they’d go.

Decided to use a conventional stance for all sets, and quickly worked up to 120kg. Unfortunately these didn’t feel quite as simple as they should - will give them a bit of a longer run in a couple of days.

Deadlift 2×5@60/132, 2×5@80/176, 2×3@100/220, 3@120/264

Must feel good to be back to it. I can imagine that having a bit of a break from them AND not doing them very often from the floor might cause them to feel a little harder.

Yeah it’s a great feeling. Will be even better once I have a chance to clear some more space and assemble the rack.

By dungeon light seems like an appropriate way to deadlift. Great that you’re back hitting the weights.
