Well after breaking my foot a year ago, I finnally felt it was time to try doing some deadlifts on sun, Well I started off slow cause I wanted to feel out my foot.

I did a set 8 with a couple 45s (90lbs) and that felt good, So i added a few 10s and did another set of 8 (110lbs), I'm thinking this is good, So I load up to a total of 225lbs and do a set of 6, ummm?? I'm thinking this is good.. Soooo I throw a few more plates on to a grand total of 245lbs and fire off two more sets of 2. FELT GREAT all that weight. I felt like I could have done a bit more, but i ran out of plates

WOW.. after not doing any dead lifts for over a year I think 245lbs for 2 sets of 2 is decent I have no idea what i weight right now.. i'm guessing around 150-165lbs.. Thought I'd share with you guys.. I'm hoping to break 300lbs next time i do DLs

Comments welcome

I had 4 25s and a 10 on each side, plus the bar... you do the deads without a bar? You use a machine?

By my quick math, i did 265 total. I did this for about 4 reps.

Those weights are including the bar (45lbs), I an not using a machine I prefre to use free weights, better for what I am training for :)

At first you weren't adding the bar in, but you never said total. So, heh.

Good job none the less man. That is pretty impressive that you can break a leg and then get back into lifting like that again.

Very nice man, coming back from an injury building confidence is extremely important. I had a patellar subluxation (dislocated kneecap) in 2005 and it took me a while to go full throttle on the weights again, let alone play any sport.

What are you training for?

Thanks guys

Umm?.. i'm hopefully gonna compete this year in the heavy athletics (Scottish Games). I guess we'll see where I'm at in a few months. its in Aug, so i have a ways yet, I should have enough time to get rdy, working at my new job in a suppelments retailer helps, my boss is giving me all my Sup's at cost, so this helps.. I'm trying a new things from PVL, a TriBoxo and Nitroxyn2 blend, It's working very nicly as of now.. :)
