Within the gym I decided to practice my dead lifting but instead with the variation of a trap bar as I felt this variation was the easiest for me to reach down and still maintain a good posture and technique. I started on 30 kg for the warm up and gradually increased until I was only 10 kg off my personal best of 80 kg. I felt this was a big achievement as I wouldn’t normally have the confidence to be deadlifting this much weight after only really learning the correct technique a few weeks ago. I feel next time I can push myself to improve upon my 1RM
