Are those hip belt Squats broken up in different or all in one set? HIT, you trying to channel Dorian Yates?
It is all in one set, first 30 are non-stop then several breaths between reps after that. I am a big fan of Dorian Yates

Kind of like that narrow grip bench straight in to the bench. Just spread your hands out further? Gonna give that a try.

Yes that’s exactly it. Couldn’t believe how different the normal grip felt after narrow grip

Goblet squat became a deadlift when I couldn’t hold it in position part way through - did this instead of hip belt due to still having back issues.

Weighted carry up & down stairs 52kg
Lousy session, warm ups felt more like working sets. After missing target reps on the first four exercises decided to cut it short and go to presses and split squats. Wasn’t happy with the squats so went straight into carrying 52kg up and down the stairs. Not a great idea safety wise so may not do that again.

Are your belt squats done at home? If do whats your set up for them buddy?
They are done at home. I have the ironmind hip belt, think I got it from Pullum Sports. I use a plate loading pin instead of a bar. I’ve also used it with an ez curl bar, taking it off an open power rack but prefer the loading pin.

Thank you, seen a vid of someone doing it with a loading pin and been meaning to see how it feels so will give it a try. Nice one

I always feel that the lousy sessions are the ones that really count in the end - putting in the hard yards that separate the winners from the losers.

It does have a tendency to swing forward at times which may just be down to my technique.
That’s a much more positive way of looking at at, thanks I’ll keep that in mind.

Same issue with the goblet squat again, unable to hold it in position, may try this with the trap bar instead next time.

Narrow grip bench 5x57kg, negative x 80kg

Db press & negative lateral 3x12kg
Db curl 9x12kg
Goblet squat/deadlift 30/10/30x24kg

Will probably change the goblet squat for either split squats or trap bar deadlifts next time so that my arms are no longer a limiting factor.

How do you do the negative Pull ups?
I use a stepladder to get in the top position and have it positioned so that it’s a foot or so in front of the bar. The just take my feet off it and lower myself down.
