thats a decent weight with the semi sumo, do you get much out of a belt?

I have no idea, i've never really used one LOL
So, maybe not, as my core muscles have become so strong. Should really test my max with a belt just to see though.

Ive never used one either, will have to give it a go.

Cheers Faz, so much more confident this last month. Looked at the 200 today and just knew it was gonna be comfortable, in the past id see 4 and a half plates and get nervy with it. Also getting some chalk has made a difference, don't particularly like straps but couldn't hold the s**tty bars in my gym, grip feels solid as a rock now. Planning on hitting 220 soon.

Cheers hombre's, very happy with the improvement in the deads, not so todays bench

Finished up my 1st run of 8 sessions, so was PB hunting today, gonna need a bigger gun! To shoot the spotters.

Bar x 10
40 x 10
60 x 10
100 x 6
120 x 3
120 x 3
140 x 1 Peanut very easy, probably my best 140 to date
160 F Felt pretty good but the 1 of the spotters touched the bar, bas***d! felt i had this
160 F Pinned to the chest this time, didnt really get the setup right and lost tightness
140 x 2 Pretty easy
160 F Different spotter, did a better job but i didn't, got it off the chest but didn't manage to get it in to the triceps, had a good battle but the spotter jumped in, doubt i would have got it

Disappointed not to get the 160 especially the 1st attempt but with some more work around 140-150 this should go comfortably. Will feel more confident with a mate spotting rather than young lads.
