A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

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?

3rd time deadlifting since the lower back injury, completed all 5 sets with no strain or soreness 💪 

A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out came on during my 4th set and it reminded me of my display name on MySpace back in middle school:

Listen to your body! I’m trying extra hard to be conscious of that

Oh dude, I too am returning to the deadlift after a lower back injury. 

Going very carefully for now.

I’m also navigating injuries around heavier olympic lifts. Taking a beat to do less weight, more reps, better form, and build more of a foundation

nice! I’m currently doing 3-5 sets of 5-8 reps

im currently doing 3 sets of 8-10 reps and find that works for me.
