Hi Guys,
Started SS beginning of March at 5’11 and chubby at about 225-230 BF 20% +
Starting Weights - Current
Squat 115 lbs - 255 lbs
Bench 110 lbs - 210 lbs
Press 65lbs - 135 lbs
Deadlift 125 lbs - 300 lbs
I also had to take 6 weeks off from squatting, deadlifting and 2 weeks off of all other lifts because I re injured my knee in an unrelated accident. I’ve had an undiagnosed ACL year (until recently) for about 8-9 years and have re injured it multiple times since ( torn meniscus etc )
My question is.. I feel like I’m struggling too early with my deadlift and it shouldn’t be as hard as it is. My injured knee/quad/calves are smaller and weaker then my good leg obviously because over the years I’ve always been tentative to use the other leg not knowing when and if it would buckle. Is it possible that it’s hindering my lift, or is it more likely just that I am weaker than I think and or bad technique. I know Mark, has had or has a torn ACL and I’m curious to know how it effected him in multiple lifts.
Sorry for the long post, and any information or opinions are appreciated. I am new to training and not very knowledgeable yet.
Brad
