Back Squats: 5, 5, 5, 3 @ 310, 5@310 (with belt)
The first four sets were a real struggle. I couldn't finish the fourth set either, as I felt I lost pressure or something at the bottom. Gordon suggested I try his belt for the fifth set, which I did. Surprisingly, it felt about as hard as the second set at 310. I think most of my problems with squatting stem from a lack of tightness at the bottom. I will reflect on this, and will also probably start using a belt for my heavy sets.
Bench Press: 5x5@242
Barbell Row: 5x5@225
Nothing to report.

Didn't Gordon use to have a velcro belt? It's not a good one. Look for a leather belt, 10mm, either red or black.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am planning on buying my own belt. Do you know how much a good belt costs? I'm seeing $75 on Elite FTS, but that seems a little steep to me.
ReplyDeleteHuh, it's also not leather. Didn't notice that.
