Nice to find that waiting for you when you got home. What you but it for, max weight sets?

[NC_Tarheel]

I've got the 13mm Inzer Forever Lever in October


There's no need to do all that crap to your belt....mine has worked just fine from Day 1. Sure it's stiff. Sure it bruises my hips every time I use it. But if you want to do something where you feel comfortable...go play tiddly winks



I'm breaking mine in by.......




squatting and deadlifting in it.... (GASP )

Was going to post a form of that....but kept deleting it.

Let it break in through use and it will be fine.

Well the problem is not being able to get it through the end hoop cause it's stiff. I'll roll it a little bit and try strapping it on today when i'm in the gym.

[Anthony21]

Awesome belt, Ant! My gym provides one which is cool..but if I change I might have get one too. It's a lifesaver at maxing out sets..

I'm hoping it provides some help with those big time lifts.

Nice purchase man

Thanks Mosh

LOL @ parking your car on the rolled up belt. Sh!t just got real!

Very nice belt, Ant. Congrats!

I like the one about putting it in the dishwasher haha

You don't necessarily have to get it through the loop.

[Anthony21]

You don't necessarily have to get it through the loop.

So you can the end not secured at all?

[thom2355]

So you can the end not secured at all?

Yeah. I mean, you can work the tail a bit, but you don't have to worry about it that much.

If the prong is in the hole (teehee teehee) you are secured and good to go.

[Jasonk282]

Right on so I don't have to worry about it then, good to know. Thanks as always Thom.

What's up guys. Today was my 2nd deload workout. I got to finally lift in a belt and definitely felt the difference from no belt vs belted. I need to get use to pushing my abs up against the belt to really reap the benefits of lifting in one. I'm glad I purchased one though.

My workout went great. I was really pleased with my deadlifts. I worked on sinking my hips a little more and more importantly pulling with speed. I definitely accomplished both, especially pulling with speed.

My squats felt great and worked on my speed through the descent and out the hole.

Overall it was a good deload with some extra assistance work thrown in, check it out.

How is that belt bro?

Fukking pull ups man, I am just now able to do them for 8 reps. I had to work on chins for like 6 months before I could successfully do pull ups.

[Jasonk282]

Why are you deloading in Madcow's? I though you are just suppose to deload it like in Starting Strength.

I'm running it for 9 weeks then taking a week off. Ill then use my 5rm I ended week 9 with for another 9 week run.

So far the belt is awesome.

I need to work on my pull ups also hahah

[moshvr]

Good session (actually read this one ) ... How you doing the pull ups? Wide grip? Wide and weighted are such a good mass builder for your back man!

[Juicemw]

subbed! Been looking to purchase a belt as well, pref one with some hooks for weighted chins and maybe eventually weighted pull ups. You're noticing a much more comfortable difference with one huh?

[Jasonk282]

Oh OK. I don;t think that's suppose to be like that...but whatev.

[Anthony21]

Using just a shoulder width grip. No weighted ones right now i'm just trying to improve on bodyweight ones right now.

You're talking about a dip belt. A powerlifting belt is completely different than a dip belt. I like my belt so far.

Oh OK. I don;t think that's suppose to be like that...but whatev.

I don't see anything wrong with a deload. I'm glad I actually took a break seeing as I have a little cold. I believe what Jim Wendler speaks about in terms of deloads. They're definitely not something a lot of people like but in terms of longevity they're beneficial.

Nothing wrong at all. I just though madcow's was not set up that way.

Nah I know. I assumed you meant a lifting belt based on what you were saying about it, I was just saying Im looking into getting a "dip" belt soon. .

[Anthony21]

Well I guess you would continue with it if it's still working but I like a deload, especially after 9 weeks of heavy liting.

I figure I'll be fresh my 2nd 9 week run.

[Anthony21]

Nah I know. I assumed you meant a lifting belt based on what you were saying about it, I was just saying Im looking into getting a "dip" belt soon. .

I would definitely get a dip belt and a powerlifting belt.

a tips on pull ups: do them several times a week. One method to train them is doing the pyramid . start with a set of one, the two and so ti you fail and the climb backward from there.

edit: I'm sure MakeGoBoom have more tips on that too. But the best tool for getting better is persistence..

Good idea U. I'm definitely planning on incuding them at least 2x a week and i'll try that pryamid scheme.

It works...we use it in the field all the time.

[MKW]

That pyramid idea is really interesting. I'm going to give that a try as well.

[ktj4l]

The pyramids sounds like a great approach. How long do you rest approximately between sets?
