-Notes-

Tried Chalk It Up's new hip belt machine. Surprisingly tough. It does make sense, though; the glutes and hams are removed from helping out so it's all quad strength. It is to the leg extension what the GHR is to the leg curl; the lower leg stays fixed while the knee flexes or extends to move the bidy.

Two plates per side were really hard and I had to lower it back to just one plate per side (pps), which I note as "135", in order to get reps. After all the squats and leg presses, this nearly made me throw up.

This was a light pre-meet squat session. A lot more warm ups and ramp ups. And I didn't push it. Didn't bother with wraps today. And I am not planning to squat more than 400 even with belt and wraps at the meet.

I weighed ~193 into the night. I will easily make the 198 class on Saturday at weigh-in.
