I’ve been going to the gym for a about 4 weeks now so hoping to see some physical difference soon. My lower back certainly doesn’t feel as bad as the last deadlift session.
Read up on belts - type and using them. Mark Rippetoe (as always) has the best info. Try Mike Matthew’s site too - I haven’t looked there so I can’t comment but his info is usually very good.
Bought my RDX belt a few months ago and it's been great, I don't get any tired muscles in the small of my back any more.
Yesterday was the hardest day of my squat routine: 10x1 @ 107.5kg then 3x10 @ 102.5.
Was challenging but even with that amount of volume my back feels great today.
Can't say the same about my legs 😂
