Short session this afternoon. Knee still sore and just wanted to fit a quick session in.
Press:
60 x 5/5/5/5/5
More difficult than I was anticipating.
Deadlifts:
160 x 2
Changed to deadlifting in my weightlifting shoes, primarily to see if they'll help my back in the set-up by making it slightly easier to get into a proper position. I know I've deadlifted in them on and off before (but primarily off), I always ended up eschewing them on the basis that the extra inch or so of ROM they added reduced the weight I could use. I never paid much attention to correct deadlift form before, believing it to be too simple a lift to not get it at least somewhat correct. However that's silly, so I'm trying to improve it, and also learn to correctly set the bar down too. So the weightlifting shoes did make the starting position feel a little easier, a little correcter, and I was going up fine until my workset of 160, which suddenly felt very difficult, grip suddenly almost gave out, and I felt somewhat dizzy, so called it a day.
Then home.
