Well, I don’t have one, I just borrowed it. I looked at them. They are like twice as expensive as a best belt haha.
It was amazing though. The guy had broken it in prefectly.[/quote]
Gotchya, I got mine back when the price tag wasn’t as bad. I’m not sure why they’re so much more than some competitors which seem to be pretty much the same. I like feeling like a special snowflake with it though.
DEADLIFT DAY BABY!!!
After this here deload, I am expecting that it is going to be brutal haha.

Thanks for stoppin in!
Here is the lift from 5/2/14
Deadlift
5x135 (Double overhand)
5x185 (Double overhand)
3x225 (Double overhand)
5x240 (Right hand up. I am capable of getting this double overhand, but it is a “work set” so I just did MG.)
5x275 (Right hand up.)
10x315 (RHU. Belted. Fastest reps you ever saw. This set lasted maybe 10 seconds. Took 4 breaths, then…)
5x315 (LHU. Belted. Still fast, but harder. Took 4 breaths, then…)
4x315 (LHU. Belted. Believe it or not, I missed the last one. Just like squats, I couldn’t get 20.)
1x315 (LHU. Belted. Form video with hold at top for some grip. Not challenging at all.)
5x275 (Double overhand. Worked on form.)
5x275 (Double overhand. Worked on form.)
5x275 (Double overhand. Worked on form.)
5x275 (Double overhand. Worked on form.)
Stiff Leg Deadlift
5x230 (Double overhand.)
5x230 (Double overhand.)
5x230 (Double overhand.)
5x230 (Double overhand.)
5x230 (Double overhand.)
5x230 (Double overhand.)
5x230 (Double overhand.)
5x230 (Double overhand.)
Leg Curl
10x100 (My legs were fried at this point.)
10x120
10x110
10x110
10x100 (These were a struggle.)
This was an absolute marathon of a lift. I wanted to hit it hard though because of the fact that I haven’t been able to in such a long time.
I hope I can continue to dominate my waves of 5/3/1.
Thanks for reading guys.
Deadlift form check video with new belt!
Definitely sounds like you’re feeling better.

What kind did you get?[/quote]
i don’t remember the brand name actually, but it was a cheaper one (about $40) from a website i’m not allowed to mention here 
it does the trick, but i wish i’d spent another 40-50 bucks and got a nice leather one.

Shame on you haha.
BTW I’ll get the video of my form with and without shoes up as soon as I get the workout in.
Mobility for the day of 5/3/14 is complete.
I want to add that stiff legs lit my entire back up like you wouldn’t believe. I love those things.
When I get to 315 for a 5x5, I’ll be pretty happy.

I had to leave. It was getting late, and I had to move into my new apartment that is an hour and a half from home.
I will do the pull ups tomorrow first in my workout. I may do some dips as well. I am not sure yet though.
Thanks for reading everyone!
Goodnight.
Your deadlift volume is glorious.
