The planned progression lasted half a workout! I did two sets of four with 92.5 today and they just weren't challenging enough, so I upped the weight to 100 for the last three sets of four and managed them ok.
Then I was persuaded to try a single with 120, which I managed without undue strain. A half-hearted attempt at 130 was always destined to fail. However I now find myself within 65 kilos of the qualifying standard and still improving...
Again, my bad leg feels great. It's my back I'm worried about. Hopefully the gradual progression I have planned will strengthen the back bit by bit. Thinking back only ten days, the first time I did 100 was a real grind on the back. Today, 100 was snappy with no undue pressure on the back.
The next deadlift session will be on Saturday. The plan is five sets of five with 100 kilos - unless that doesn't feel challenging enough! But lifting 100 kilos 25 times is the equivalent of moving more than two tons, so it should be challenging enough.
