I will never lift any weight again without being somewhat out of breath from some sort of cardio first, ever again... the body and all the systems just aren't ready for exertion yet, for me, especially at 40.
Ended yesterday's season with 275 x 6 then 295 x 5. My goal was the 400's this yr but covid put me back.
I hear ya with the 225 DL. That's wise for sure.
Just reading your story about our hip
made my heart rate go up - sounds really scary.
Form, form, form - then slowly add more weight is my approach now.
Btw, I love deadlifts!

At my home gym I was doing literally nothing to warm up...but now back in the Gym I walk the treadmill or track for 5 minutes most days...today on leg day I do 10 minutes of walking to warm up.
I'll have my buddies get a video of my current form next tuesday for a more accurate critique. (really, critique me I don't mind lol!)
