Gratitude

I deadlifted today for the first time since a minor back injury earlier this year. Was slightly nervous, back injuries are no joke. 

Post gym — my lower back feels great (a fair, light amount of soreness), and I’m feeling rejuvenated and very grateful 🙏

Deadlifted again this morning, I stopped at 3 sets bc my lower back was feeling sore, perhaps even lightly strained? I’m not worried atm because a) I did listen to my body and b) I’m still ramping up on weight slowly

When deadlifting, how do you distinguish between an acceptable amount of soreness vs overworking?

The line changes with age.  Also the workouts change too.

I used to spend 95% of gym time working on strength 5% "stretching"

Now I'm like 70% mobility/flexibility work and only 30% strength training.

You gotta put in the work to keep your body functional
