Haha yeah if size is your goal then go for it. I know i personally am going more for functional strength to become a better athlete through strength and mass, but you might have different goals then me.
Deadlifted 3x5 @ 365 (feels so heavy? ) I'm not really sure where this is in relation to my previous max of 485 but i didn't want to kill myself before practice. I'm sure my DL fell a lot though Went for the 5x5 @ 225 for bench...got 4 sets and then missed my last rep on last set. Fucking a. I want my fucking strength back I think i'll switch back to the chart for a cycle. So close to getting my 2 plates on each side god dammit.
not looking forward to running around in our tornado advisory weather T_T
I'm stronger than I've ever been before and you still bench the same amount I squat. Stfuplzkthxbye I'm free tomorrow, going early to the gym yaaay :D Hopefully I will be all alone n___n
It's killing me that I can't work out much at all. My knee has gotten much worse than it has ever been before, and there doesn't seem to be any reason for it to have happened. It will hurt completely on its own merit most days, whereas before it was always "the day after I went running" or "the day after I danced at that party" or whatever. Some days, it will barely hold weight at all.
This is obnoxious. I can't Squat, I can't Deadlift... hell I have trouble getting up the stairs to the gym. But my upper body is doing JUST FINE. I have a doctor's appointment for the next time I go home... but that's not until thanksgiving, a month away.

i probably also have a lot more weight than you and been lifting for a lot longer :-p
Don't take this the wrong way, but that's all? (the volume, not the weight)
It seems odd to me to limit a workout to two exercises, unless maybe they're squatting and deadlifting.
Yeah, I had to cut the workout short yesterday. I've been going low volume last month and a half and I've had progress on every single exercice in every single workout except for one (which made me furious!)
Get a subway salad, but get 3-4 servings of chicken strips on it. Make sure the fuckers give you enough of every salad to create a mountain. Cover with salt/pepper and your favorite sauce, commence to walk past fatty at the end of the line deciding on what 12 cookies to buy.

low carb, fast deliciousness.
This is definitely a good suggestion. I've been doing this at PitaPit (they are cheaper )for a while now.

Meh you're fine without a belt at least to 2-2.5x your body weight. I squatted 445 with no wraps/belts at ~200 lbs so i think you should be fine without one for a while. I only use them when i go really heavy on deadlifts in case my form slips i dont die.
Instead of using a belt, use your stabilizer muscles to stabilize your core aka dont be a babyback bitch.
I used a belt for my heavy sets of squats and deads.
Today's workout: Pullups: BWx7x7x5x5 BB Row: 100kgx5 (+5 kg -2 reps) - 2 days are clearly not enough recovery for back, felt tired and form was bad. Some pulldowns.

First time in like 4 days that I've hit the weights.
AND MAN DID IT FEEL GREAT!.
I took those 90kg like it was nothing, my reps were good, good speed, and I felt super super comfy!. :D
I feel I'm going to enter a new phase of myself, Hopefully it lasts long! .

Pretty much.
Here's an example of a guy at 130kg body weight doing a 363kg squat with no belt:
Everybody at the gym who uses a belt squatting under their body weight should be forced to watch this.
