Not a deadlift PR but wyt?

[ohlol]

Was supposed to be @8 but I think it was more like a 6.5-7. I am still getting the hang of RPE, and haven't done singles in so long.

In jeans? Denim gainz!

Yeah it went up pretty quick. If it was me, definitely < 8. I'm a novice at RPE too, but for me, deadlifts are probably the hardest of the big 3 to gauge RPE because even pretty submaximal deadlifts can feel hard and move slow, especially if your technique is a bit off on the day - most of us probably deadlift less than the other lifts so are more prone to form changes day to day.

Hahaha. They're actually joggers (got em from H&M), so not denim. I couldn't squat in them but deadlifting is great.

Hmm interesting. I find squats the most difficult, so far, for exactly the reason you gave lol. My squat form is all squirelly right now

RPE for deadlifts is super weird for me. I'll hit a single at what I think is 8.5-9 ish, but then next week I'll triple it @8.5-9ish.
That rep was super fast though - that looks like the speed of my second to last warmup single maybe?
