Now in PR territory for deadlift. Hopefully I can avoid any more back injuries and make a clean run to 165kg.
Leg press seems to put some muscular strain on my lower back. This pain certainly affects my deadlift attempts. I may need to deadlift before doing leg press, or maybe alternate leg press and deadlift days. I’m hoping my back will adjust to this different training stress and I won’t need to mess around with the program too much.
I will now reduce weight increments on deadlift to 2.5kg, and may start alternating deadlift with clean pulls soon.
