In December, I mashed my wrist slipping on the ice. In January I got sick and was wiped out for a week. In March, my mental health got to a shitty spot.

Considering all that happened and I maintained my strength - well that's a good outcome.

Now I realize how much sleep, stress management, and diet contribute to physical health. Lifting is only part of the equation.

Today I skipped my first deload week on 531, and YOLOed up to 140 kg on the #deadlift. I got a comfortable 8 reps; RPE 10 in the sense that I don't think I could have locked out another but the first 80% of the lift was straightforward.

I’ve changed my technique slightly whereby I kinda do a mini reverse RDL by swinging my backside down and knees forward, really driving through my heel when before I came up on my toes. Gets me through mid shin quickly and feels more powerful.

Why Cable Workouts are great for building the Biceps? 💪

👉 Unlike free weights, cables maintain continuous resistance throughout the entire range of motion, both concentric (curling) and eccentric (lowering).

This keeps the biceps under constant stress, which promotes hypertrophy (muscle growth).

Had another good week on the #strengthtraining front; I'm nowhere near where I was 5 months ago, but another 4 days in the gym were a good move in the right direction.

I've started squatting on my #deadlift days and deadlifting on my #squat days, and intentionally lowered the volume on my main squat day. The effect of this is that I can walk at the weekend but have done _more_ squat volume over all this week. And it feels good!
