i've never squatted with a belt before, is it something i would have to learn how to use/get used to for a few weeks before i can expect to gain anything to my total? or can i expect to hit a pr right away?

I noticed a difference right away. just make sure its not so tight that you cant take a big belly of air or so loose that you cant push out hard against it.

Is the belt new? You might have to break it in. I learned how to use my belt for squats right away other than it felt alittle different hitting depth. But for deadlifts, it felt horrible for awhile and still feels horrible on occasion.

Might take a set or two to get used to, nothing like wraps or a suit or anything though

Belts are allowed in raw competitions, they are not like suits/wraps which give you huge carryover. Have you got a lever, single prong/double prong or ratchet belt? May need breaking in if its new.

I have a inzer lever and its brand new, wearing it around the house and doing some bodyweight squats and it feels strange. i cant even get into a deadlift position in it. Thanks for the responses guys.

edit: also how much extra poundage did u guys gain the first time u maxed in a belt?

Between my sets I would roll it 1 way as hard as I could then rolled it the other way as hard as I could. That and squatting in it helped break it in for me. As for as poundage, it is hard to tell. Especially since I got it when my squat was in the upper 200s and shooting up. I wouldn't worry about how much you are going to get out of a belt. Just use it during your workouts and get use to it and then max out whenever it is time. It's like saying how much extra poundage do you get out of wearing proper shoes, who da fawk knows.

It's hailing like crazy outside. I hope my jeep ain't gonna get dented.

Super boring Saturday night. I really need to make more friends in this state. I blame the internet. What does fam think of this?:

I was at work one day standing outside watching a storm when all the sudden it sounded like 10 billion golf balls fell out of the sky. in like five minuts it hailed so much that it was sitting on the ground 1/2 to 1 foot thick. some of the hail really was golf ball sized. craziest thing i've ever seen. had pics on old phone.

[goosefrabbas]

Howd he break his toes?

First deadlift attempt. Still pulled twice more like a boss.

Did he break them at the USAPL meet down here in feb? If so I know who you are talking about lol

lol no. This just happened today in Bay St. Louis. He was at the Tally meet in October though.



Vid from meet is in my log, bitches.

Oh, and I got to see Chris Tran in action. It's crazy how strong he is. He got the third highest squat, somewhere between 500 and 550, maybe more, and he's a 132. I think a 300+ bench and I'm pretty sure a 500+ deadlift.

[GuinnessStrong]

Super boring Saturday night.

Get really numbdrunk off Guinness and Rogue Chocolate Stout, and pull 405 for max reps while eating ice cream cake. That literally sums up my entire night.

LOL, I take it you have your gym at home then? weights+booze sounds like a bad idea for me.

I have enough to get by if I can't make it into the gym. It's the axe and Highland Games weight that get me in trouble.

[Smolovicus]

41 reps total at 87.5% intensity and 60 or so more at 65-75% intensity tonight.

The doctors told me I'll never walk again.

[ErickStevens]

Anybody else pumped for Game of Thrones S2 premiere tonight?

[Liftamulti]

No, but I saw the hunger games last night. It was pretty good. I think I'm going to read the books.

Edit: there was a 50 year old guy there with his wife and friends and they were like what district are you from? He yelled district 12 LOLOLOL! Dude chill out, you're not a teenage girl.

Dude, are you a teenage girl?

Does anyone remember a pic that used to float around that was a stupid quote from an erotic book about an erect wayner?

[darren.dugan]

This. The movie was crappy and was more about a love story than survival. Watching that movie was like watching a retarded version of SERE school. Seriously, when people are hunting you down in the woods, do you run around crying and screaming like a little bitch 24/7? Or when you have an easy shot at your most dangerous opponent with a bow and arrow, do you take it or do you run away like a little bitch? Are you really going to take your time to set up a memorial for your dead friend after you made a bunch of noise, or are you going to get the **** out of that area asap? I was pissed that entire ****ing movie because that dumb bitch did stupid **** non-stop and she still won.

Well, that seals it. *DLs the books to Kindle*

LAM you're missing out. GoT has tits, swearing, and lots of violence.

No thoughts on this? Retarded? Halfway decent?

Looks homosex. Too many reps.

[lts1ow]

The running man > hunger nonsense.

[mitten]

Ur stronger than me darren so I can't say much

[darren.dugan]

No such thing!

If my bench doesn't go up this year I'm gonna lose my ****

Give Smolov Jr for bench a go?

[mitten]

No such thing!



Give Smolov Jr for bench a go?

I have been thinking about upping the volume on bench

[Liftamulti]

No such thing!



Give Smolov Jr for bench a go?

Sets of 8 on squat and 10 on bench just seem a bit weird to me. I understand throwing them in every once in a while, but I wouldn't make it a weekly occurrence, but do whatever floats your boat. It's your training program.

[kingscross]

Have the %'s for intensity? Are you deloading or do you train high volume moderate intensity or what?
