I haven’t deadlifted in a while and don’t have access to a gym for 3 weeks, what ballpark estimate do you think my conventional deadlift is?

Hmm I would guess probably in the range of 365-405 for a 1 rep max

I basically do it similar to a deadlift except I bend my legs a lot less and purely focus on hinging it. I lower it more than I need to though, I’m usually a few inches off the ground at the lowest

I do bend them, just not as much as I would when i used to conventional deadlift (I used to bend my legs more to involve some quads and get the weight off the ground)

For illustration, the bar initially slides down my thigh over the knees then down my shin
