Not too bad thanks - did feel a bit drained afterwards but ok! Most importantly my lower back & legs feel fine, bit of elbow/ribs/knee niggle but that's par for the course - I did push it a bit having not pulled a deadlift in a year.
Also turns out 140 is a PB - I thought I hit that last year but it was 130, bonus! There's progress to be made, but i'll go back to 3x5 @ 75-85% and see how that feels then go from there.
Hope you've avoided the barbell hangover - i've overdone it a few times & takes me days to recover!

Nice! How are you feeling today?
I pulled some deadlifts today for the first time in years. Went sumo in an attempt to 1) help with hip strength/flexibility and 2) avoid comparisons with prior numbers. Took it easy and stopped at 95kgx8 but they felt great and got a bit of that CNS buzz that I've been missing.
Like you, will be interested to see how I feel tomorrow, a few sensible sets of Bulgarian split squats on Saturday morning gave me fatigue/brain fog for the rest of the weekend.
