1.5 deficit; 2x2-220kg.

ZGMs; 5-60kg, 80kg, 90kg, 90kg. These feel incredible. Immense respect for anyone working with an atlas stone - those things must be immeasurably harder.

Major sticking point at bottom of knee. Louis Simmons reckons it’s a lower back weakness generally, Nuckols tends to recommend RDLs. Not sure which direction to take. Woolam would likely suggest rows, I think.

Ever tried paused RDL work, @Jester? I have used it as a tool in the past for the same issue with some success. Only other thing that comes to mind is GM work; that has helped in the past too.

Have done RDLs a lot previously, difficulty meaning programming in more deadlifting when I’m amazing out 4-5 times a week ;)

It might even be a case of just getting faster at the floor so it’s no longer slowing to a near stop :p
 
DL; 3-200kg, 1-225kg, 245kg, 255kg, 265kg@9, [email protected]. 285 maaaayyybbbeeee there @11? 280 probably there @10. Nice way to cap off the week though, 3 hits at 285.

LBBS; 3x5-60kg. First squats in months, knee might just let me do something now, quads have dwindled to nothing.

ZGMs; 5-60kg, 80kg, 90kg, 90kg.

OHP; 5-60kg, [email protected], 2x2-85kg@8.

Congrats! I'm sure having a bar on your back again felt good. If the knee complains, have a look at split squats with DB's or some other hand-held load. I've found both from personal use and some coaching (of others) too that it does some great things. It keeps the knee joint in a fixed plane, which I believe helps the most. Your quads will swell to something, too.
