I started focussing on compound exercises like Deadlifts, Squats, Overhead presses, bent barbell rows, bench press from October 2019. I started with deadlifting 70KG and progressively overloaded each passing week and month. Finally just before COVID-19 lockdown, I was able to sumo dead lift 120 KG. My weight was 70 KG. The form may be little off as this is the highest weight i lifted till date .
Though it is a small feat compared to many people’s ability to lift much higher weight, i am uploading to stress upon the importance of strength training and progressively overloading for safer strength gains.
Along with it a proper nutritional diet and optimum rest is a must for body to repair, grow and to have hormonal balance.
