Jim Wendler Worship and Obscure Exercises

Gaz, a few questions sorry:

1 do you wear a weightlifting belt ever?

2 if so where is the best place to get them over here?

3 how does a belt help your lifts, how much weight difference dies it make to your lifts?

Anyone else got something to share on these will be welcome too

30 Pullups isn't a walk in the park by any means, but its a good way to get your back nice and warm!

Also - i wear them on squat/dead singles only, or if i'm in a comp i wear one pretty much constantly. They make absolutely zero difference to the weight i can lift but they will stop your lower back rounding somewhat.

More useful on the squat than the deadlift really, since you should be breathing into your belly and using valsalva (sp?) on squats anyway your belly will push into the belt and help support your back and keep you tight.

Half of it is a mental thing, i'm sure. I know people who use it for heavy events like log press and conan's wheel, too.

Literally, get them from anywhere so long as they're heavy duty looking.

and

Pullum Sports for Weightlifting and Strongman Gym Equipment

Are both good sites. The York leather ones are good too, and most places sell them.

Pretty difficult. Was a cool idea but felt awkward as shit, haha. Had to deadlift the bar to my knees and rack it before squatting it up due to my "no power rack" policy at the moment. Very weird.

All but two rounds did i go straight into goodmornings after the squats without putting it down. Sometimes my arms were just too slippery so had to reset.

No power rack policy? sounds dumb. Probably a liability insurance thing.

 

[Gazhole]

We have power racks at the gym, i'm just not using them. Having a lot more fun in the gym than i can remember
