That's an impressive amount of work--nine different movements! I think I'd collapse at the end of that workout.

Thank the heavens that my time is my own these days.

My back is important. If a belt helps, I'll wear one.

Quality work, BD.

Thanks Oldster, I agree with your sentiments. My coach and I have come to an understanding that as soon as I can't maintain a solid brace during a lift, I can go to the belt.

Missed the top set of 6. Couldn't stay tight, feet slipped, all sorts of technical fvck ups. Color me dissappointed, I felt better than what I put up.

Everything else was fine, though fatigue caught up with me towards the end.

More impressive volume, BD. Out of curiosity, when you do a dumbbell bench, do you use the method Rip describes in this video:Rip - Proper dumbbell racking - YouTube
I've been thinking of trying some heavy dumbbell benching but haven't taken the plunge yet.

I start that way, but I do drop them when finished...shame on me.
