Yeah I think I am being overly careful because I tweaked my back like 2 months ago and had to back off and work my way back up. I feel so much more solid now.
But yeah deadlift has been feeling great as of late so I was thinking I would just keep doing some high weight low rep work through July and then make my attempt toward the end of the month.
As far as a belt goes I actually do have a one. I got my first belt a few months ago and went with the SBD belt which maybe I bit off more than I can chew. I use it for squats and it feels great but for some reason it just seems annoying on deadlift--like its too thick or something. Jams into my rib cage or something at the bottom and doesn't end up actually help with bracing. I was telling Monte I may need buy a second belt specifically for deadlifting that is not as thick. I don't know.
Anyways in the meantime I've been going all beltless. But I have been trying to really focus on my bracing.
