  • First time doing deadlifts today (and other stuff) with a PT, just learning correct form etc. Managed 80kg which seems ok as a starting point. I'm a big lanky 6'2 and 73kg.

  • I wouldn't worry too much about weight at this point, technique will be key. Plenty of reps just going through the motion was what got me. The next point PT will be really useful is when you really have to lift as form can go out again then.

    After todays DL session backs of my knees are a little tight/tender - probably just didnt warm up enough?

  • Yeah, now that I know roughly how to not completely fuck it up, I'll just practice high reps at low weight until the next time I see the PT.

    I'm guessing you also have cyclist's ham strings? Do you find DLs help with that? Can definitely feel it in the legs today as well.
