No belt tonight trying to focus on bracing and overall tightness. Legs were still sore from Monday,
Good little session and a good end to an otherwise shite week. Feels good to be back under the bar and doing something I like again

Means you are doing it right! Recently my technique have improved, and it’s so much better to have sore ass and hammies than lower back… (also safer I’d wager!)

Used a belt for the Work sets today.
Empty bar felt great
70 still felt good
90 still ok but starting to feel a little weak out of the bottom. Lower back a little achy !!
110 - these temp sets felt tough, capped them at 3 reps. Feels like I am folding over at the bottom rather than sinking into the hole.
I have lost so much weight that my belt was super loose on the first set. Tightened it for the next 2 sets.
Arms and abs
Barbell curls SS hanging knee raises, some reps!
Feels really good to get a solid week if work in. Happy days. Body still not perfect but it will slowly improve. Really need to start eating again.

@simo74 don’t listen to these lean muscular men and their lures of low carb bulking glory, join me on my high sugar high fat bulk, that’s where it’s really at, your pancreas will grow like never before!
