Who said he will get that far..

Mate, I fall flat on my face doing those, always.

Wait, you can't jump?

Though I had a mate who was just terrified of box jumping as soon as it got a bit high. Took him ages to pluck the courage up, but then he'd happily get in a boxing ring with someone twice his weight

White men can't jump bru.

I can jump, just not very high. I don't think my head knows how long my legs are....

Probably a mixture of my tinnitus and wonky eye-syndrome (not a real syndrome but it describes it best ) Can't walk in a straight line in the dark for instance, I'm better when I'm drunk.

RDL should be more than enough warm up for deads.

This is my favourite thing you've ever written

Reading it back...I'm not even sure it makes sense!

Nice to see this, exactly what I do before I start deads. Seems to work for me.

Just ditch the belt

 

[Delvis]

When I tried the belt on BORs the other day I found it pinched me a bit...I do have a tad more tummy fat mind

 

[Chris1712]

Nice row's brah.

 

[Syla5]

Just ditch the belt

my current aim is till to powerlift, i was hoping to compete this year, but beltgate is scuppering my plans. If i cant wear the belt, and make it work I will shift my focus to becoming more functionally fit/strong.

 

[Deception]

Get as far as you can without it for now, then just use it at meets etc, so you have other people there to give pointers.

 

[Syla5]

its not that straight forward. I know how do use the belt I used to be fine. Now i have ditched the belt for the last 6 months or so, every time i come back to it and deadlift with it on my form gets pulled horribly out. I dont know if this is subconciously trying to protect against any repeats of sharp flare up pain or not, but it really doesnt look pretty, and i would rather not just throw on the belt when i am going to be lifting/aiming to lift PB's

 

[Delvis]

Maybe you are bracing differently with the belt?

Forgot to ask and you was fagging about on the cable machine for 5 years. Do you need your shoes first thing?
