Back on the deadlifts!

So I finally got an olympic weight set. Including the bar, which weighs 20kg. The total weight is 145kg.

Because of this I Can finally start deadlifting again. Until recently I was doing one arm suitcase deadlifts. See vid below for an example (that guy is not me btw)



anyway, I was doing the one arm deadlifts because the weights I had were too light to do a 2 arm deadlift. At around 54kg (119lbs) of bodyweight I could lift 50kg (110lbs) fairly comfortably.

Now I'm on my first cycle of regular 2 arm deadlifts. My bodyweight has since gone up to 60kg (132lbs)and in my last session I did 5 sets of 72.5kg and felt good. Let's see how far I can go in this first cycle. Will keep you posted.
