I HAVE BEEN in a shitty mood since my knees packed it in on me again, two weeks ago, and in addition to other commitments in the real world, I’ve missed another events session
last Saturday. Plus I needed to squeeze in a training session before my physio appointment tonight, so I decided to strip it back to just the deadlift, and get some comp-specific pulls in there as well.
And my program called for 235 kilograms to be the top load used, but I literally couldn’t find any 2.5 plates in the High Performance Zone, so I moved on to 240 and made that my bitch pretty good. My pulls felt stronger and, while I know each day I walk in to lift, I *could* pull 300-odd, I don’t.
All in good time.
