2-14-14 – Deadlift: Belt & Butts

Deadlifts went great today. I felt strong(her). I put my feet out a little wider today and also brought my grip in one more finger, and I wore a belt today too. I made sure to get that big breath in and push my belly against the belt on every set. I ordered myself a (purple!!) belt the other day, so it will be here in a few weeks. I just realized that my deadlift, which used to be my worst lift, is now my highest training max. Interesting. Maybe Dave Tate’s butt had something to do with that. Stay tuned for the explanation.
