Doing a progressive overload routine and finally failed a deadlift set at 117.5 kg - even the deload is around the max I was at before (over a year ago or so) so I'm actually pretty psyched, even though I failed the set.

I think I was a little too scared of the weight the last time I was working out, but my form seems good now. Only issue I'm going through is the bar scraping my shins and knees, especially while lowering the weight.

    Trap bars are the GOAT, they're just so much more comfy than regular bars for deadlifts, also your grip strength is so much greater due to the more natural position of your wrists when gripping it.
