I checked and I had not deadlifted in 3.5 years to the day. Shooting for one week between sets this time instead of 182.

Will you be able to do regular deadlifts with that bony knot on your shin?

Will you be able to do regular deadlifts with that bony knot on your shin?

The knot has shrunk considerably but the leg has felt "funny" after banging it on power cleans. So--I'm not sure.

Honestly, I'll probably keep trap bar deadlifting or other variants for a while, it's less taxing and for whatever reason I like it. I'm trying to shoot for "medium hard" effort and be less concerned with my numbers, as my tendency is to go balls out and get hurt. So, weird versions mean I can't really track the progress, which is good, for me. I've done this so long I feel confident I can get enough work in.

Makes sense to me. I was just curious given your shin's condition.

I don't know that the diet is getting to me, but I am starting to feel my lifts slowing down. I think any muscle gains are sunsetting as my body realizes the calories aren't coming back.
