Which sets do you use a belt on?

[Gallowmere]

Which sets do you use a belt on?

All working weights on squats and deadlifts, and all amrap sets on bench and press.

I’ve heard this from a few people since all of this lockdown stuff started.
I’m a bit of a weird duck, in that NOT being able to train for a bit was the hard part. I spent years making everything into habits to where missing a session or eating some “off diet” shit just didn’t happen; they weren’t options.
A couple of months without lifting drove me to spend $10,000 on a training building, and the diet never really changed.

Just went back to post 1 on page 1 and read a couple of pages. I suggest you go do it too Gallow.

How fucking proud of yourself are you? You are a legit BAMF!

Newbies should be forced to read your log...your transformation is just remarkable.

Between you and Chark, I find real motivation and inspiration.

Congrats again bro

Greatly appreciated.
I have gone back even further recently, as I still have my day 1 5/3/1 training log in my notes. It’s pretty damned amusing to see just how much things have changed in the last four years and some change. It’s not really surprising though, as this is just what happens with consistent work; the body will adapt.
The more interesting part to me, is the psychological shift. There was once a time when the idea of spending more than say, $3000 on anything other than a car or new gaming PC seemed absurd to me. Now, here I sit, with a training setup that cost more than my MX-5.
