2.5 per side? Hahahahha. Maybe try for 1rep. Should be doable!

 

[CallmeZen]

Feeling the ache in my upper back today, probably due to the Deadlift. 2nd time. Am I doing it wrong?

 

[BradLee]

Muscle ache or injury?

 

[CallmeZen]

Doesn't feel like injury to me though.

If it is just muscle ache then its normal why worry?

Just wondering if it's normal from Deadlift.

Just wondering if it's normal from Deadlift.

hmmm from what i know DL is almost a full body workout so could be but it should use lower back more than upper back. If u are doing SS/SL then u would be doing rows too, could it be from rows instead?
Another possibility is for DL your arms should not be doing any pulling action, should just let it hang while gripping the bar, your legs, glutes, hips should be doing most of the work, however u might have subconsciously pull the bar.

Yup, i might have subconsciously pulled the bar. But definitely feeling the ache in the glutes today. So.. I guess all is well if there's no injury.

Stretch. Foam rolling. And.. lots of fresh milk (not the low fat nonsense pls)

Yup, stretching to prevent the build up of lactic acid.
I'm trying to lose weight so avoiding any dairy products..

Been wanting to get almond nuts for the longest time, anyone know of any brands to recommend? Bringing to school as a snack pack.

 

[dj_flame]

Camel, Fairprice, Nature's Wonder and Phoon Huat.

Phoon Huat can buy in bulk but taste not as good as the other 3.

Buy the roasted / baked versions, avoid the salted or flavoreed ones.

Squats 90kg x 5 x 5

Below parallel.

OHP 40kg 4,5,5,4
Switched to 35 x 5 x 1

Yates rows 75 x 5 x 5

No accessories today.
Wanting to try where my 1rm on squats, loaded 100 and surprisingly it was still manageable!

 

[CallmeZen]

Yayyy. So happy with workout today.

Squats 100 x 5 x 5
DL 100 x 5 x 5
Bench 55 x 5 x 5

I think I still can benefit with SL since my upper body lifts are still so low.

Any idea when is a good gauge to graduate from SL?

 

[CrazyBlue]

Wow...squats are 100kg already. Nice

 

[BradLee]

wah hit 3 digits liao

 

[CallmeZen]

Haha, thanks guys.

Only these 2 lifts are @ 3 digit. The rest still far from it.

 

[hiei02]

you modified SL a little?
