ever think that your back might be stronger had you not used a belt and you would have developed significantly more core strength in that time?
if i tried to deadlift a year ago what i lift now, my back would absolutely fucking explode. but since ive put a year into it, my back and core have become 100x stronger and provide 100x more support than a year ago. when i first started DLing and squatting heavy, my lower back felt like it would give out at any time but now, after a year of deadlifting, my lower back is strong as fuck and not even a thought in my mind.
had i been wearing a belt the whole time, my back would still be weak as fuck, and really, whats the point of that in the end? im a firm believer in total body conditioning.
the only time i'd use a belt is on the a final set in an overload scenario when you're into big numbers. definitely not all the time.
its the same as using straps. more than a few people on here have said they use straps to deadlift 200lbs, and ive seen it alot in the gym. how come i can hang on to 400lbs and not even think about grip being a problem? and theres people on here who hang onto 600+lbs without straps. if your grip sucks, improve it, dont find a way around it.
lol straightup, I won't be using belt or straps again I did it today just to see what the difference would be. With a belt + straps I pulled a 490lb deadlift and it fucking was easy, doing my regular 450 raw was a lot fucking harder compared to belted DL
Hate having to drive to the gym just to do HIIT on my off days so
I'm planning on jumping rope for HIIT. Has anyone done it? If so, any thoughts?
cant you do hiit at home? i've done skipping but i find that up downs, high knees and mountain climbers are the most exhausting and im assuming best ones
Word no belt, no gloves, no foam padded bars... Not saying it's better or worse, but it feels awesome just to lift heavy shit by yourself, even if it isn't as heavy as if you could lift with helper gear.
Damn no gloves? I'm assuming you all have mad calluses.

Maybe you should take a look at the link I posted before from bodybuilding.com about belts. I won't bother reiterating what's mentioned there, because I think they do a pretty good job of explaining it.
Basically, the belt is not a crutch that impedes development.
so how does this carb breakdown work? still dont understand how they claim to have 3G per bar when the sugar alchohol are not considered fibre carbs are they?

i did. ive read about 10 articles that all say the same thing.
it says the same thing i said. use it on your overload sets. the problem is when people use it on all of their sets.

It is called sneaky ass advertising... be careful of those

"sugar alcohols" or other artificial sweeteners like aspertame/splenda/truvia/xylitol seem to spike blood sugar in some but not in others. i think that's how they get away from not declaring it a carb.
at least your nutrition label broke it out nicely. i've seen some "sweet" products that don't list it there. it's not until i look at the ingredient list that the artificial sugar is listed.
my weigh in for basically a month of sub 20 grams of carbs is on sunday, most likely only expecting max 10lb loss as ive been doing very little cardio and mostly weight training
gonna have to add in HIIT as well like you WS6TA i think..
gonna focus big time on cardio over the next month or so and perhaps jump on an EC stack after that
