another thing i recently started to get problems with is lowering the bar after the deadlift. i cant really drop it (workout at home, dont want to fuck up the floor.. also noise issue cause i often workout really late at night) and when putting it back down i apparently do it in a bad way. i can bring the weight up rather easily but the reverse is a different problem. any tricks?
oh also how do you deal with situations where your workout is on a day where you already had quite some physical activity? be it from work, doing stuff outside whatever. for example last friday my knees,hips and lower back were already strained from the day and it was squat+deadlift time. i had to cutoff during the last set of squats and leave the last 2 dls cause of that.
-hip flexors. do lots of dynamic + static stretching and foam rolling.
-get some foam pads to put down underneath your weights or something
-remember that you're a god damn animal and CRUSH THE WEIGHTS BENEATH YOUR AWESOMENESS.

Holy shit, first time deadlifting in nearly two weeks, and the resulting DOMS is so intense! My body de-adapts so quickly: makes me feel like I can't afford to take recovery breaks :-/
What is this 'recovery break' you speak of?
Every three months or so, taking about a week off to heal up accumulated injuries, get a massage, etc.
I tried training in waves today. I was going for three waves in sn, c&j but by the end of the second wave I was done lol, never done it before. I did some light squats before though, maybe that affected me. Anyway (weights in pounds):

-will do!
-same, no other tips? jsut start dropping it once pads are there?
-haha yeah thats the plan. problem is that i got some backstory when it comes to knees/hips/lower back from a untreated sports injury way back in my teens. so when those areas start to feel weird/fragile im rather taking the safe approach. powering through sore muscles is no prob (and usually they feel better afterwards anyways), but when the mentioned parts really give in during a set im fucked. well for now ill try to schedule my 2 day rest with the usually hardest days at work. and see how i do.
surprised i could even unrack the bench let alone bench it afterwards. nice. got dizzy after few reps of 120 dl but manage the 130 without passing out afterwards (very dizzy/blood pressure tho). have to rush to dance class now else would do some other stuff/try more deads
Absolutely exhausted by the third wave.That 230lb c&j PR felt awesome, it wasn't a press out lol. My training partner took the crossfit oly lift certification with Mike Burgener. He was telling me how they teach the lifts, it's not that bad. Burgener told him that he had a decent technique making contact with the bar and all. Yeah I taught him lol.

I really hate weight fluctuations. Why can't it just go down 1 1/2 lb constantly every week
