Well, shit! My body decided to corporate with deadlifts today!

Pulled 385 with hookgrip, 405 double with straps. I'm very pleased with that considering I haven't done a heavy deadlift in I don't even know how long.

Biggest issue by far is grip. I used to have no issue double overhanding 315x5, I could barely hold onto it for a double. Legs/back feel great, but my forearms be weak af now.

I'll compete at 9:00 at the euro masters, better get used to lifting in the morning. So morning session it is when I can for the time being.

Headache may happen.😅

Today's #weightlifting was my first all-green session for over a week. I'm starting to hit plateaus across all my lifts at the same time. Good problem to have? I guess?

I suspect I'm going to have to look at eating more if I want to progress much further. I'm very close to my current arbitrary target of "Intermediate" bodyweight ratios across the board, according to strengthlevel.com.
