Warm-up:
back squat (low-bar to 225#)

7x1 back squat (low-bar, belt; 245,260,2x270,275,280,285)
3-3-3-2-2-1-1 halting deadlift (belt; 295,2x315,335,355,375,395 [f])
2-5-5 halting deadlift (315,225,225)

1x20 curl-up

My belt arrived this week, so I decided to try some heavy singles to practice lifting with it. Belt felt great on the squats, definitely increases abdominal pressure. 285# was real slow though. Belt didn't feel so great on the halting deads; the top of the belt really dug into the bottom of my ribcage. It's gonna take a few sessions to break in the belt (incredibly stiff!) and figure out how tight and what position I need for each lift (some advice here, #6).
