A week or two ago I started weightlifting again outside ( after not lifting for a good three weeks ). My deadlift has went down a good 30 pounds and I don’t know why… I have taken breaks from lifting before and my deadlift has always stayed the same or went up (which doesn’t really make sense… I’m 17 so I suppose I’m still growing and getting stronger naturally)
The only thing I can think that would make it go down would maybe be the fact that I’m wearing shoes now ( a cheap zellers version of chuck taylors ) and that I’m doing my deadlifts in the gravel driveway… But thirty pounds seems like a huge drop, could the extra inch from the shoes and the kind of uneven ground cause the drop in weight?
