Today’s workout: really not that bad.
Deadlifts 10 x 134, 10 x 184 (at a deficit: stood on 10 kg plates)
5 x 224 (easy)
5 x 244 (not that bad)
4 x 254 (not easy, but not torture)
couldn’t get myself to honestly try 274..probably too tired.
Then some glute exercises with and w/o 44 lb plate. Note: left glute IS weaker
Then 5.15 walk at 14:49 (finished faster than I started)

no glute pain at all. Go figure.
About the deadlifts: yes, 224 was more than I could do a year ago, and 254 is more than I could do at the start of this year. Progress wasn’t as fast as I wanted but any progress at all is ok.
