Lower body training

Deload, deload, deload. I'm trying to wrap my head around this deload principle. In 2007 when I first started doing powerlifting a guy in the gym told me about having a base level of strength. He said that no matter the day, no matter how tired or injured you are you should always be able to fall back on that base level of strength. I guess you could say that it's from the same school of thought as with the deload. The idea is to make incremental progress and upgrade the base level of strength. What else I've noticed is that the body has an innate base level. For me that's 6 reps with 140 kg for squats, 180 kg for deadlifts and 120 kg bench press.

Second training session of the week and it turned out to be quite ok. I didn't use a belt, wrist wraps or my elbow sleeves. I was however gassed out by the final 3 sets of deadlifts. I really don't know why I was so exhausted at the end. I slept well, ate properly and didn't exert myself too much.
