Just wanna add variations. Low rep and high intensity.

some personal updates, i'm sleeping so little and having bad diet due to working part time.  T_T

Congrats on starting back working out. This is just my opinions:
1. Deadlift is a strength exercise and it doesn't work well with high reps. Most of the time I would shoot for maximum of 5 reps with heavy weight.
2. Are you just working your upper part only?

Hi alien, thanks for the comment, greatly appreciate it.
urm, I just follow the workout, my bad then.. it was half deadlift, something like that, doesn't require the barbell to put at the floor.
Is it ok? or I just do with low rep heavy weight next time?

about #2, I noticed my upper was lacking compared to my friends and I didn't have many days for gym, so i skipped the leg days as well.. last time i was following the 5x5 training, and did squats everytime i workout, and i felt my leg was bigger than my body ( develop faster than my upper body ). So now maybe balance back first?  hmm.gif

By half deadlift, do you mean stiffed legged deadlift? If that so, it is a good lower back exercise.
For #2, I would suggest you to do twice a week upper body workout and once a week lower body. I know that you are trying to balance your upper body and lower body but by neglecting completely your lower body, the muscles might diminished
