Saw this the other day and remembered it today when I was thinking about doing cardio today.

I was very non motivated to go to the gym today. Glad I did though.

Deads today. Legs sore from yesterday.

135x10
225x 5
275x5
315x 5
365x3
385x1

Then 5 minutes on the bastard stair machine..

I need to order a belt for lifting, I had to dig through the box today to find one that fit me. Apparently most of the belts in there are 40" plus.

Where should u get one from? How do I measure to get the right size?

Inzer made mine and I am very happy with it.

All depends on how much you wanna spend.

Corbin I bought a Toro Bravo belt, made in Texas. It's Titan branded so it's IPF/USAPL legal. The quality is great and the price is right:thumb: You can get it lever or buckle, I prefer the lever as they are easy to remove.
You will have to call Anderson for sizing and availability but they ship fast.

Thanks Albert.

I put the belt on after 225 today and forgot how much different it makes everything. So far I have zero back pain from it.. Leg pain is a little different tho

Another dumb question..

How tight does everyone tighten their belt while lifting and where?

I usually have it tight enough that if I flex my core then it restrains me. But not uncomfortably tight. And I always put it just a bit above my hip bones.
