Still holding on to water weight. It’s cool 🤷‍♀️ Today was deadlift day and I tried something different! I was watching YouTube, a guy named Jeff Nippard talked about why breaks between sets is so important and my friend at work told me yesterday that she thought I was using too much volume. So today I waited a minute between warm up reps, 3 minutes before the bigger lifts and I jumped in 20# increments and only did 3-5 reps no additional sets. I deadlifted 155 pounds!!! My 135# reps were actually easy!! 155 was heavy but I kept good form and lift off was smooth! Can’t believe I’ve been holding myself back by doing too many reps and not enough breaks 😪
