R lifts things – 23 April 2014

Deadlift

Bar only (20kg/45lbs) – 1x3

40kg - 1x3

50kg - 1x3

On the last rep of the 50kg, there was a twinge in my lower back. I tried lifting more, just about managed one more 40kg, but no, t'was not to be. I was able to do some assisted pull ups...

Assisted pull ups

-26kg - 1x3

-21.5kg - 1x3

-18kg - 3x3

But alas, the back pain got worse. Time for some ibuprofen and a cold pack. Hopefully I'll recover in time for my next workout on Saturday.

What could have caused this?

I warm up properly every time, but I was rushed this morning. It's possible I didn't spend long enough here.

I also should have done more warm up sets on the deadlift - I went too heavy too fast. 

My form may have been poor. Given my haste, it's possible (most likely) that I wasn't paying enough attention to my form. 

Once I've recovered I'll pay attention to each of these to prevent this from happening again.
