5 plates is a milestone.

No straps or belt, right?

Gratz! Those 950 cals in the morning really must be helping your lifts

thanks bros!!

i think that was one of my worst lifts im not even that proud of it because i looked like a fool lifting it up, but my buddy keeps sayin dont worry and make it your goal to get it up perfectly. Lol so im stoked i even got it up!

Ive never used a belt in my life, but i did use straps. I guess i could try it with chalk instead?

yeah try chalk and don't take chances with low back especially on max efforts. Belts are still considered raw.

Good shit!

Yep. You are cheating yourself by not wearing one on max effort sets. Your low back health is everything.
