Deadlift Struggles.....ugh!!!

Everyone knows how much I LOVE to deatlift....The other day on my first day back deadlifting, I pulled 240lbs. Not bad for being off a month. Today, I stopped at 185lbs because of this stupid boot!!!! I wanted so bad to max out but that didn't happen. To try and level myself, I stand with my left foot on a 45lbs plate. Since the boot is so big and awkward, I have to  deadlift summo style which is harder. So, I guess I will just lift light until the boot has been laid to rest. I did bench press 135lbs 2x!!!! So I'm happy!
