I agree the walkouts are tough, but it helps strengthen you up for a pr attempt and get you used to handling the weight. Psychologically it helps a ton. By the way I notice you don't wrap your thumbs around the bar. Do you feel that generates more power?

Another thing is your doing a lot of conditioning and other types of training, your schedule is pretty busy, and not optimal for strength gains. so maybe you need a couple extra hours of sleep before you go for the pr.

I'm thinking about getting a belt when I can squat and or deadlift 500, or by the end of the year, whichever is sooner. Whats your opinion about training with a belt and what about knee/elbow wraps.
