I haven’t deadlifted in about 20 years. This morning, I did my first deadlifts with the new weight set. I worked into it, but I did 185 pounds. That’s well above my body weight (155 pounds). Not a bad start!

It helps that I have the muscle memory from doing it all those years ago. I don’t have to work on technique and my body just knows what to do.

I’ll do 185 again and a few more times, then I bet I can hit 200 in short order.
