So far I've only been using the belt for my squat work sets, though I might start wearing it for heavy presses when I resume my training after the meet.
I've been doing that too, imagining the commands,etc. I'll get a bit more practice in this week.I spent a great deal of time visualizing the event: what the bar would look like with each plate combination, what a successful lift would look like.
Good advice, thanks, BD! I am looking forward to it--it will be a nice change of pace from lifting in my cold garage.Remember, you've got a full minute to start your lift. Don't rush things, get settled / comfortable before every attempt.
Nerves are good, it shows that you care!
