What can you maybe do instead of a run or jog before you squat next time? I'm guessing jump rope is also out?
I will never lift any weight again without being somewhat out of breath from some sort of cardio first, ever again... the body and all the systems just aren't ready for exertion yet, for me, especially at 40.

Ended yesterday's season with 275 x 6 then 295 x 5. My goal was the 400's this yr but covid put me back.

I hear ya with the 225 DL. That's wise for sure.
Just reading your story about our hip
made my heart rate go up - sounds really scary.

Form, form, form - then slowly add more weight is my approach now.
Btw, I love deadlifts!
