| Tonights training Squats 10 x bar only 5 x 60 kg 5 x 100 kg 5 x 120 kg Belt on 5 x 140 kg 3 x 150 kg 1 x 160 kg 1 x 160 kg (PB) 1 x 165 kg (PB) Belt off 5 x 120 kg First time using a proper PL belt for squatting and it made quite a difference, the way it supports my lower back has restored my confidence a bit and being able to push against it with my core is a big help. The first 160 wasn't deep enough so I did it again, it felt good so I went for the 165. That's 10 kg more than my previous PB. | |||

| Cheers Ed I had to check back through the journal but that's the first time I've doubled 150. I'll be happier when I get 160. The back is very annoying, hopefully it will clear up soon. | |||
