Eh, definitely a Russian exercise haha


I’m thinking heavy singles and my paused work. Still not sure if deficits do enough considering my leg drive technique is fine for the moment.

Yeah, I've never done them myself, but something to consider if you were looking for a new deadlift movement.
 
OHP; 5-60kg, 5-70kg@7, [email protected].

I’m using a slightly modified technique, that the Barbell Medicine guys use, with the lean back to initiate. Sort of like a steep incline press.

Lower back is becoming used to it, and I feel it’s more stable and stronger through the break.

I find a really good que for that is to clench your ass cheeks together has hard as you can. helps me anyway protect the lower back
 
DL; 3-200kg, 1-220kg, 1-230kg, 4x3-240kg@9.

Rows; 4x6-150kg@8.


Made a form tweak/alteration to starting position. Felt like old times. Hopefully things progress quickly from here.
 
I’m also making a point of actively extending my lower back (not quite hyper extending), and arching the head and eyes upward in on my rows. Feels more stable.

It amazing how the body really does follow where the line of sight travels.
 
Beltless DL, 4x3-200kg@DOMS, speed was fine.

LBBS; 1-140kg, 150kg, 160kg. Tendonitis is back on left patella.

Hard to judge RPE with that. 160 probably @6-6.5, but hard to judge with that issue.

Do you wear knee sleeves? That might help?

No to the first and a suspected no to the second.

It’s partially just due to the injury (they noticed that the cartilage that tore off scraped the cartilage underneath the patella), and partially due to the fact that I drag the barbell along an already easily aggravated patella when deadlifting.
