deadlift: resting between reps?
Hi coaches,
when deadlifting becomes heavy for me I have to put down the bar between every rep, stand up, rest for like 10 seconds, set up again and do the next rep.
I have to do this because after each rep i get lightheaded and dizzy for a few seconds, almost wanting to grab hold on to something so not to fall over. Kinda like loosing my balance for a few seconds. After that it clears and i can continue.
2 questions:
1) is it ok to complete the work set resetting between each rep, or do you have to be able to complete the set without resetting in between? I hope it's ok, because my current deadlift equals my squat (a not impressive 110kg, still fixing my deadlift form). I don't have this issue when squatting.
2) Not wanting to be a pussy, but is it normal to feel like this when the weight isn't that heavy, especially compared to the squat? i can imagine on very heavy singles or sets, people may experience this, but at a measly 110kg? ... or AM i being a pussy ?
If i missed a section in the book describing this, then i'll apologise for asking and be very happy to be pointed out to the book!
Thanks!
