Let The Dog Drive The Bus

Might play around with grip width, I feel really strong doing rdls with a wider grip, might try it on conventional, as I’d get some more leg drive from having to get a bit lower. I’ve also noticed from watching some coaching type vids, that my stance is quite wide, but I just don’t feel right with feet closer.

Hurt back a bit a work yesterday whilst climbing onto a chest high wall. Hurts around hip and buttock area. Might have to skip leg day tomorrow, probably due a deload anyway, so may do a push then pull upper body workout with some light weight high reps.

Back felt OK this morning so did legs

Nice work, getting close to that 140+ squat

Thanks, felt good today, getting used to belt on 120kg + sets. Not going to try 140 or over til I can get 130 for 5.

@simo74, I’m going to buy my own belt soon, do I remember correctly, you got a titan leaver belt?

My belt is a titan but it’s a single prong.

I think single prong is what I’ll go for, do you wear it differently for deadlifting to Squat? I haven’t started wearing a belt for deads yet, but imagine a lever wouldn’t be Ideal if you have it in a different position.

Changed up programme to a more hypertrophy one. First session today.

I wear it the same for both squat and deads and don’t use it on bench (at rhe moment) so I could use a lever.
A lever belt would be a pain in the butt if you had to change it for each lift. But they do look cool so there is that!!
