The bottom of my belt is at my belly button so yeah.

ok, that's almost an inch above where I have mine, I'll try it out and see how it feels

@aube, tyvm belt feels much better up there, I wear it pretty loose for squats, tried tighetning it on my last set, it felt way too tight, even though i could crank it 1 notch tighter. curently wearing it same height/tightness for squats and deads.

bench pr today! 172.5 x 6 = 207 e1rm

squats are feeling much more natural, feels good to be able to squat again.

squat 210 x 6 x 6 x 6
bench 172.5 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 5
dead 280 x 6 x 6

Estimated 1rm a calculator will take the amount of reps you did with a given weight and that will be approximately what you can lift for a 1 rep max

E/ tyty 225 bench should be the first goal I'll meet!

At 0:52 you are ready to squat and you wait until 1:03 to start...11 seconds for nothing.

Work on 1 thing at a time not the whole checklist.

I meant like cues before I can squat. head up, breath, unrack bar. 3 step, raise the upper back, bend the bar, draw ribcage down, breath in, push out obliques, squeeze glutes, then go.

also Just got my wrist wraps in the mail, they are ridiculously stiff, and don't conform to my wrists, they feel like they're made out of cardboard rather than elastic is this normal? how do you break them in, or just use em?
