I can put my lever belt on two different settings. I used to do that (looser for DLs & bench and tighter for squats), but now that I've gotten better at using the belt, I use it on the same setting for all three.

Having used both a lever and a buckle, I'll never go back to using a buckle again.

What are the advantages to belting up for bench?

You can take a big breath, push into the belt, and that makes your core more solid, which helps with leg drive and your whole body being more solid/tight.

hard to use a belt properly for bench unless you cinch that **** super tight. At least ime.

On OHP I finally feel I am using it ok (or fat enough) but not after taking another breath mid-set. Squats is by far the easier imo to use the belt, I almost can't not use it.

I do not remember where I read it but I read that taking a cold shower elevates testosterone levels slightly. It wasn't some "omg cold shower MOAR TEST GROOW" nonsense either it was part of a larger article.

As for speeding recovery - to a degree as long as its not **** cold. You are causing your body to want to warm up its top layers etc and that's only possible through sending blood to the region - muscles included.

I really should invent an improved lever belt. The design change needed to get rid of relying on the screws is pretty simple.

I might buy one now just to screw around with the is idea. I haven't worn a belt in 6 months tho.

Cold shower prob doesn't do too much. Invest in a restaurant sized ice machine, so you can take a proper ice bath. Fyi, it never gets easier lowering yourself into the ice water.

Whenever I learn any 2p2ers real name my mind gets blown. It's ridiculous.

Like, when people realize I'm not foreign or Yugoslavian really and it's just a nickname b/c I look like Peja Stojakovic.

But seriously, when someone has what appears to be an actual name in their name "Johnny Fondue" - I mean, how the hell isn't that dude's name John?!?!

They're one in the same, boys. But I must say, people are much more sad when they learn my real name than mind blown.

Eating overnight proats for the first time. So frickin' good! Obv a quick morning meal since it was prepared last night. Halfway through the bowl and already getting full. This is going in the rotation for sure.

Also have a pork shoulder in the slow cooker. It has been cooking for nine hours; the place smells like deliciousness. The meat is crazy tender.

so you just put whey, pb, any other stuff you want into the oats + water + milk and microwave it?

I have Quaker Instant Oatmeal. Do the oats need to be prepared in anyway or just mix like above and throw it in the mw?

Eat after cooling it i assume?

Sensei,

Step 1: Dump instant oats into the garbage
Step 2: Go to the store
Step 3: Purchase metal clippers
Step 4: Find the nearest metal gate and clip off several small chunks
Step 5: Serve and enjoy (microwave not necessary)
