Oddly a few comps lately have allowed touch and go for reps, which tbh I don't agree with

My only problem with touch and go/bouncing is you are removing the 'dead' part from deadlift, which is one of the great things about the lift.
 
Deadlifts:

Warm ups
140x10
180x3.

And that's it. Great session, not.

180 should have new for 5. 2nd rep I feel a trickle, don't pay much attention because my nose has been running a bit today.
3rd rep, drip drip, gush. Blood down my lips and chin. Awesome, look hard as ****.

Clearly something's not right tonight so **** it giving up for the night. Can't be dealing with the mess or questions from people so going home :(
 
I said to my wife when I got up to go to the gym it felt like my nose was going to run. So it's not just doing deads that caused it :(
 
Ouch, that's a complete pain but it's better to leave it alone and make sure it clears up than keep aggravating it. I had a period a couple of years back where my nose would start bleeding for no apparent reason and stop again just about as quickly - seems I must have got a scratch there without realising and it would just open up from time to time before it healed properly but until it did it was a bit worse when I'd start doing something that raised my blood pressure.
 
Yeah, will leave it till events training on sat and see how it goes. Hoping it's not blood pressure related :(

Hopefully not, it wasn't every time I did exercise but just occasionally and it didn't last too long. I went to the doctors to get it checked out but the best they could suggest was it was a scratch - if you've got any doubts or it happens again then it's worth going to see what your doctor says.

Hope you've been using the extra time this week to do some mobility/soft tissue work ;)

Ohh yes! Basically got the all clear from Physio too from doing it all. Just need to incorporate more core work and he said I'm good to go.

Hips are sore from foam rolling TFL and IT band for past few weeks. Although I can really feel the difference when doing squats etc
 
At 2 mins on that, i do similar but with toes on top of a bench, really stretches me good after a leg workout!
 
had to drop my squats to 3 sets as the knee started to act up again but feeling good, hopefully monday or wed next week il finaly hit 4 full sets across the lifts.
