Ah, deadlift, my old friend.

The good news is I offed those pesky pounds I fretted about last week. Water, I suppose. And they took another one more with them. 174 pounds at 5′ 10″. That equates to a “normal” BMI of 25. That number means little. This one counts for a little more:

405

That’s the really good news. Still stumbling into my strength program and recently returned to deadlifting, I pulled 405 this morning. Twice. Two reps. Consecutively. Non-stop.

I’d like elite. I’ll settle for advanced for now. By the way, 86% of y’all are weak.

Now, the bad news: I also pulled my back, and my legs, and I think I pulled my knees, if that’s possible.

This blog, and all other work, may continue from bed. Horizontal typing. Hmmm.

Stay strong!
