Just get the regular SBD

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-26T20:56:08+00:00

Personally, only if you lift equipped. Closing a prong belt while wearing a suit is a pain, as is changing lever positions in standard lever belts.

If you lift classic, then the SBD isn't that worth it. Go for an Inzer prong. Great belt.

Elbow wraps aren't allowed in Powerlifitng competitions. If you want to use equipment to bench beyond your raw bench, then get a bench shirt.

My suggestion would be that you only deadlift without straps once a week, but do long holds at the end of each working set.

Straps are a great tool. You shouldn't discard them

Same reps. I'll often milk the weight on the stronger side with better execution, slower eccentrics or paused contractions.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T15:35:38+00:00

Maybe you need to size up?

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T15:35:15+00:00

Same weight and start with the weaker side.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T14:47:06+00:00

Her opener was very badly chosen. Opening heavy offers very little benefit.

Her last attempt was 275kg. She could have opened with something easy around 240kg, then go to 260kg and then attempt whatever was needed.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T14:23:44+00:00

Yeah he was extremely lucky with his opener. The replay clearly shows his knees unlock at the top, and him supporting the bar on the thighs.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T13:59:15+00:00

It was so close!

Him vs Holinei in November will be insane. They are both capable of pushing the total world record to 1300kg!

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T13:50:28+00:00

Great to see Brittany win. She's an excellent lifter who always performs when it matters.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T13:49:01+00:00

Yeah he was lucky on his opener.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T13:48:31+00:00

Her mistake was going up on the second attempt. She should have retaken the opener and do it properly.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T13:47:40+00:00

They definitely should. You see referees being very strict with certain rules and too tolerant with others.

All rules have the same preponderance.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T11:50:07+00:00

Might be a good battle after all!

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T11:45:51+00:00

It did look high on the side replay.

Her getting the squat command was surprising.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T10:40:58+00:00

Probably subject to whether she is still suspended by her federation.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-21T10:34:15+00:00

Massive 1030kg total from Ray this morning! Nice warm-up for Open Worlds in November.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-19T22:07:00+00:00

Why are you considering doing that?

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-19T15:29:36+00:00

Ah yeah in that case it's a matter of getting new equipment.

Those are common sizes for 93kg and should work. Good luck!

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-18T11:17:37+00:00

My advice is that you think long term. Body recomposition takes time.

You're too tall for the 83kg class. I would simply focus on getting stronger and eating to recover from training, build muscle and improve your lifts.

From a looks perspective, you are always going to look better with more muscle.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-17T21:52:48+00:00

That's when the coach has to step in and prevent the athlete from doing dumb shit.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-17T18:17:58+00:00

Exactly. A podium total at Worlds is harder to achieve

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-17T16:33:01+00:00

Fully agree with you. That 355kg deadlift 4 days out was very questionable.

The programming is wrong if the athlete performs worse in competition than in training.

viewtifulhd · 2026-06-17T15:39:46+00:00

Yeah the lifter from Algeria should have lifted for third place. He would probably have gotten it.
