Ok, maybe “frying” was the wrong word. CT described it in his article as “overtaxed”. And I know that I’m far from being strong and that people around here easily lift twice times the weight I can handle, but for me at 165 lbs bodyweight (who started at 130 lbs) , it has taken quite some while to come to where I am now. I just haven’t seen progress in the deadlift for the last 1 and a half years. My other lifts have improved though.
I’m actually filming most of my main lift work sets, so I will shortly post videos of my deadlift on good days and on bad.
Osu’s advice does sound reasonable indeed, considering that my deadlift was at its best when I was putting the least effort in training for it.
