I’m doing three sets of five reps each equal to my full body weight a few times per week for deadlifts now.

I won’t reach my 20s lift ratios (that was when I was young and hungry) but I am doing my best to get back in top core shape.

LFGOOOOOO

My peak 20s single rep deadlift was 280lbs when I was a bit under 140lbs.

Now I am 132lbs, with less muscle. I am not going for max weight but 3x5 at 135 is a good number to rep with. I would like to try 225lbs for a max lift when I am ready.

Get after it! 😀

Impressive numbers

One key to avoiding injury weight lifting as you grow older is to rotate through slower tempos (313 = 3 seconds up, 1 seconds hold, 5 seconds down). The slower tempos cause you tendons and connective tissue to get stronger. 1 second tempos won't do that. So the trap people fall into is their muscles keep getting stronger but their tendons don't and they injure their tendons at some point.

Correction: 313 means 3 seconds down, 1 second hold, 3 seconds up. 515 means 5 seconds down, 1 second hold, 5 seconds up. 313 and 515 tempos are useful in building tendon strength.

Low time preference people

I barely understand any of ur economics talks. U posted about combat sports and no hitting the weights those things I understand spectacular!!

I like to lift heavy things and punch things hard for a long time now. Getting back into it after a lag.

Good afternoon.

Why multiple DL sessions per week? This is crashing your CNS, no? Have you tried GZCL? https://www.boostcamp.app/gzcl-method-gzclp-program-app
