I ordered a belt!

I finally decided to order an ipf-approved powerlifting belt.
A leverbelt.
In pink.
Soooo cute, right?

I finally found out that a solid belt gives more stable and larger surface to press my belly against.
And I think one of my weakest points in my three leifts (actually, especially bench and squat) is keeping a tight body - and pressure around my waist/spine.

I did some benching with my rather soft and narrow belt from Better Bodies, and it helped a lot to hold a stabil position and pressure in my belly.
It felt much more stable and strong!
I also think using a belt while squatting will help me focus on holding my breath and keeping a tight body and better position.

This is 64kg 3x3 - 64kg would be appr 90% of my 1RM.
Beltless.
The belt I ordered was not in stock though, but was about to be ordered from the Norwegian dealer (Kappi). So I'll have to wait, but that's fine!
