Found it funny that last week my warm ups felt great in the squat but ended up lifting like s**t yet my warm ups didn't feel so fresh today but I lifted alright regardless. Environment makes a big difference to performance it seems. Its nice to be in a gym at 11am full of other powerlifters and strongmen/strongwomen training at the same time. Also noticed a difference in using my belt. Putting it on too tight feels horrible unlike when I did low bar it would help a lot. Any one find a difference between a lever belt and a buckle belt for squats? I'm thinking of purchasing a good quality one from Titan or Inzer. | ||

Member 3916, 209 posts SQ 180, BP 95, DL 195470.0 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq | Unfortunately I think I only used one or two of those "45's" haha. Cheers Jack, although I want my 160 to feel as easy as the 140 so I can start high bar squatting four plates and stop calling all my squats "HB Squats" and just "Squats" again  | ||

Mind you I felt a bit silly wearing it for 90kg, I don't think I've ever worn a belt for anything less than 130 lol. Paused Bench Barxlots 40x5 57.5x8x3 SLD's (Beltless) 60x5 100x3 120x1 140x1 165x0 135x3x3 Rubbish session. Head wasn't in the right place. | ||

Deadlifts (Beltless) 60x5 110x6x3 Decent squats today, although I have a feeling I'm going to feel it tomorrow. Paused bench was a dissapointment, would have thought 95 would fly up based on the double I did on Friday. Gym was pretty busy, full of people with multiply bench shirts and kids running around, makes for an interesting atmosphere... | ||
