Theres was actually a guy with the SBD belt at Iron Revolution. Decked out but funnily enough he was the weakest dude there (he was newer than me to Powerlifting so… fair enough though).
Should’ve asked to try it out because it’s like adjustable and shit or grabbed it and driven off. He said he got it on eBay for about $20 cheaper than from that place you linked so if I ever want an upgrade…
Should have waited for him outside the gym, taken his SBD belt and then fed him to the guineapigs. Lots of money saved😎
Program Update
Conventional DL in. Block Pulls out
He said they stay in until they start beating me up too much that it affects the next session. More rep PRs on conventional it is.
Was pressing icons because I was curious about what they do and ended up deleting my post so here it is again because such incredible art deserves to be featured here.
Behold
Is it the refeshy looking button? I clicked the shit out of that and it did nothing.
Wtf, it usually un withdraws i tried it and it did the same thing lol😢

New year, same shit. Little sleep fuelled early morning workout at the ever reliable 24/7/365 Doherty’s Brunswick.
Early morning is terrible for working out but gotta get in some lifting because the rest of the day is booked out with a family beach trip.
Squat
150kg x 3,3,3,3,3
Lower back a bit sore and no breakfast makes for tough squatting. Got in some terrible feeling volume work with a lot of obnoxious grunting (near empty gym though so it’s k). Long rest times for once and feeling like a real lazy fat powerlifter lol
Bench
85kg x 7,7,7,6,6,5
Who knew a sore lower back affected bench lol. Remembered to warm up with pauses this time and everything felt much better. Supaset with rows to save time and “rest”. Forgot to film but who wants to see bench volume anyways
OHP
40kg x 6,6,6,6
More reps and sets on OHP still trying to find the groove.
Sumo Deadlift
190kg x 3,3,3
Back actually feeling less sore coming into deadlifts… nvm sore af after one set.
Glad that it was kinda a back off today in the program. More weight but less reps. 190kg felt disproportionately heavy compared to 185 last session.
Conventional Deadlift
170kg x 3,3,3
Lower back is dead. Now to go lay on a beach and recover the fuck up. All the best for the new year guys
I prescribe 10x10 back snaps
I’ve started doing curls again so I’ve overtrained and got rhabdo
Leave strengthlifting in 2017. PowerCurling Federations coming this year.
I really Hope you are serious and not just teasin’
Holy **** the size of his hAnds. One open hand slap from him and you got some serious concusion. Probably a broken jaw too.
International PowerSlapping Federation
Guineapig used slap. It was not very effective
5/1/2018
Second workout of the year is a hot day at 30 degrees Celsius but at least I’m not lifting tomorrow when it’s meant to be 41 degrees. Iron Revolution today. No aircon so thought it would be sweat city but one strategically placed fan is able to ventilate the whole place.
Squat
155kg x 3,3,3,2
Do discs feel heavier than bumpers or is it just me? New weight so did some low reps to feel it out.
First set did not go well. Misgrooved the second rep and missed one side on the rerack. Could’ve got nasty but was lucky to get off with just bruised pride. However might get gym banned for hurting the Eleiko bar though lol.
Took long rests and finished off the rest of the sets. Am now paranoid about missing the hooks.
Front Squat
100kg x 3,3,3 Rep PR
Uncomfortable as always. Can I please have a mini bar pad / pussypad / Bar tampon? Or is it time to make some clavicle gains.
Bit strange cos I kinda felt like I was rounding a decent amount everywhere or at least being as lazy as possible while not dumping the front squat. Looking at the vid it’s not as much as it felt like.
Looking forward to some Front Squat gains going forward but that stuff better carryover to all the things well or I’m going to go be an oly lifter.
Bench
85kg x 10,8,8,7 Rep PR
Have I said how much I hate reps? Miscounting and misgrooving all over the place because this piggy has a peanut sized brain. Small rep PR amongst the clusterfuck of benching so pretty happy with that.
Trying to go for a quicker set up on bench and it feels much better.
Dips
BW + 10kg x 8,8,8,8
OHP
40kg x 7,7,7,7
Sumo Deadlift
190kg x 4,4 Rep PR
Usually lifts feel bad but look good on camera but today Sumo felt much better than last session but looked slow. Think the slower bar speed is throwing off my knee lockout timing. A few workouts at this weight should sort it out. Got in 4 reps for a new rep Pr.
Had a play with my mates SBD Belt and it’s some next level stuff. It feels thicc. Lever is good fun to play with too. If I had the cash I’d get it.
Keen for my belt to arrive from Loaded Lifting to get some belted DL practice going but being a cheap pig didn’t go for express shipping and now email said on the way but Auspost tracking says pending no updates.
Conventional Deadlift
170kg x 4,4 Rep PR
Feeling heavy but on video moved decently well. Back rounds a bit if I’m lazy. Not looking forward to hitting the higher rep rep PRs and getting all kinds of back rounding happening.
Did a bunch more accessory stuff but that’s about it.
