Maybe use sumo as an accessory to another quad dominant exercise, and have the standard deadlift as the main movement on a different day, like a posterior day with deads, sldl, and barbell rows or something.

Posting the video despite the fail to keep it real. Thinking back, this wasn’t a good idea because the last two days in the hospital was really tiring and I didn’t eat anything at all before this session. Oh well

Yes, no worries! Yeah I work in healthcare so fatigue becomes an issue lol
@SkyzykS thanks! I actually felt a little weak on the last rep of the 205. But yeah I got stubborn and still triedd to push for 6 on the 225. I wanted 8

It’s in there. If I were a betting man, I’d say same time next month you’ll hit it with authority.

I hope I can prove you right!
Btw, for some reason, Meadows’ death kinda struck a chord. I hope you’re doing exceptionally damn well
That hit me like a ton of bricks. I was really rooting for him to keep on keeping on. Kinda like “If he can do it, so can I.”.
I’m feeling pretty good though. The heat absolutely kicks the crap out of me, but other than that I’m doing ok.
That’s actually why most of my lifting/vid updates are in the fading sunlight or at night.

Next dl is going to be 350.

Something is off with my squat compared to pre covid. I think I’m squatting too deep this time around, which causes my Lowe back to round a bit at the bottom, hence lose some tension
Also my bench is weak AF again
