I didn’t get a great sleep last night and have been tired and groggy all morning, but knew going to the box would wake me up and get the blood flowing. I was right!

Had the lactic acid build up nicely and took a few minutes to recover before attempting max pullups. Just wasn’t feeling it today and didn’t post a great number.
Max Pullups: 20

Deadlift practice. Jenika isn’t a big fan of using belts, she feels they are more for powerlifting and lifting without one will increase core strength. This is now the second CF box i’ve been to that advocates lifting heavy without a belt. Add that to the fact that at the games I didn’t see one picture of an athlete wearing a belt for the Heavy DL WOD, so there you go, my personal choice is to stop wearing one for the heavy lifts. If my numbers drop because of it, oh well.

Maxed out with a new PR of 385.8
Even without a belt I was able to hit a PR by 2.8 pounds. Old PR was 383 Very happy today 
What’s your opinion on wearing belts? Do you? If so, why? If not, why not?
