All this talk of squatting... on a dead lift thread! Haha
As I woke up this morning I felt pretty beat up. The whole back side of my body-- from my neck to my calves-- is sore. Hard to wake up, too. I think the session took more out of me than I realized. Time for coffee...

I've been on vacation for a week and sick as a dog for a week, so I've had no updates to add. Once I get back into the swing of things, I'll get back to this. Same for my bench and squat logs.
Thanks for following.

OK boys...
5 or 6 months later I finally got back to doing a DL workout.
Watching Sorrow, Oryan, and Weekend doing their thing was a motivator for me to get back to pulling, but my niece's husband works out pretty seriously and wanted to get together for a few pointers on DL, so we met at his gym.
We worked our way up
135x10
185x10
225x8
275x5
315x3
365x2
405x1 success for me, fail for him
455x1 not bad for the first day back
Pulled my left shoulder blade midway through the 455, which gave me some pause because it hurt like hell, but decided to continue the pull.
First time I've had someone around to take video, which was pretty cool. Feel free to give me some constructive criticism on my form.

Very impressive Burly ! I like your motivation, I can feel the link between the barbell and your mind before lifting
I never tried a 1RM for my deadlifts. Always on 8-10 reps @140kg (~300lbs)
But all your tries give me motivation to try a 1RM
- I see you're on that famous beer and mustard diet. How's that workin' out for ya?

Nice man, I think great form for the weight. This is what I should strive for in the heavy weights, I suppose
That looked so clean, very nice.
If you can bench more than you can squat, you're doing it wrong!
