Bingley's Bumbling Along

[Mr. Bingley]

Sun 3/29/15 hvy day
SQ 215 3x5 pr
BP 115 3x5 pr
DL 215 1x5

a pretty great day all in all. wearing the belt the squats felt solid, and more importantly so did the back. I weighed 217 after the sets so was very happy to basically be doing body weight. the bench press spot was occupied so i did the DLs after the squats, and whilst the weight came up fairly easily it was a craptastic bar; bearings must have been shot or somesuch because it kept rolling in my hands which made it a bitch to hang on to in the work set. on the benches i finally did the full 3x5 set at 115 which had been whupping me for a few sessions so happy with that. did I mention I was happy?

got my BestBelt last night so I was excited to give it a try, especially after the mess that was Sunday. 185 felt fine, no twinge in the back under weight but kept the workout relatively short because I'm still a-scared of the back. But very very pleased with how the belt felt and the support.

When did you order the belt? I ordered one a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything from them so far...

Nice work on the squats!

errp, let me rewind: you haven't heard anything? i got an email back from them the next day confirming the order (on feb 18), on march 3rd i got an email telling me that they had started working on it, and on march 19 i got an email telling me it was shipping.

so if you haven't heard anything you may want to contact them

Yep, haven't heard anything. I wrote them an e-mail to the AOL address about 2 weeks after the PayPal payment went through requesting a confirmation of the order, still no answer 1 week later. I mean, I have no problem waiting for that thing, especially if it is as good as everybody says. But when I send quite a big amount of money (for me at least) over the Atlantic, I wish I'd hear from them...

[Mr. Bingley]

aol? it's not 'info@bestbelts.net' ?

edit: ah, i see the aol address on their site, the above is what they used to contact me.

who the hell still uses aol? lol
