No… no never. Is 110% required. Will add 20% to me squat ez.
Do u have a lever or prong?
Single prong pioneer. I love it

I’ll let u know how the lever goes so u can get some essential supplies as well during lockdown.
Lol absolutely, if it adds 20kg to the squat I deff want one.
Save the mental energy deciding which micro adjustment u want ur pioneer belt in

Bit of a strange deadlift sesh. Didn’t feel weak but didn’t execute very well and missed a rep at 260kg.
Haven’t missed many reps on deadlift (maybe a few in the last year). Knees caved and was out of position so ditched. Very little margin for error seems at heavy weights. Bar speed wasn’t bad relatively but no PR today.
Hit pushed some PR territory on other lifts stiff leg deads (180kg), conventional deadlift (200kg), wide grip bench (100kg). Wasn’t particularly satisfying given top set was disappointing.
@Voxel if u ever try out RPE this wud be an example of overshooting the prescription.

Because you missed the rep? Otherwise looked solid. Me personally I would’ve just thought that I messed up technique, not that I overexerted.
So many people will flood here to add sumo

Was aiming for a triple at 8. 250kg would’ve been more appropriate I thinks. Overshot with 260kg, missed a rep, technique breakdown and affected the rest of the sesh and probably the next sesh I hit too.
Times are changing my friend soon sumo will be the one true deadlift. Conventional will just be an assistance movement

2.5 reps at 260 on calibrated plates isn’t a PR?
Is there a reason you do all your deadlifting beltless? Is this a coach direction or your choice ?
More like 2.85 reps. But still, Sumo, amirite? It’s not even a real lift.

Nah hit 260 for a trip at RPE 9-9.5 a few weeks ago.
I’ve tried to use a belt a few times but never really clicked or helped. Got in the way if anything. Pretty much everything has been beltless on deads.
I think 2:1 is a good ratio to real deads lel
Personally, I definitely prefer deads without a belt. I feel it gets in the way, so recently I have been trying to go without it a bit more. On the other hand, I feel more protection with the belt on (back history, etc.), so it is always a tough call.
