Challenge accepted! Sort of like what you are experiencing, my brain tells me to stop when the weight feels heavy while squatting or DLing. Plus, I am getting back to weights where i messed up my back. I will start uploading my squat and DL AMRAP sets to receive my deserved heckling.
10/11/17
OHP: 132.5 x 1, 122.5 x 5,5,5
Neutral grip pull-ups: 8,6,6
Sumo DL: 255x8
Burpees for five minutes: 60
The heavy OHP single took forever to put up. Even with that confidence debooster, still hit five. Only took a couple of months.
I still can’t get over the mental hurdle of fear of injury when DLing. I stopped when my legs felt a little tired (i.e. when I had to exert effort). I need to get back to the point where fatigue is my limiting factor. I’m sure I had at least two more reps.
