Sunday night was leg day, I was feeling real good and figured I would make a 30 pound increase on my working sets. It went ok and i was thinking this seemed heavier than expected. I stepped up and pushed on through my sets. At the end I was just destroyed even 2 days later I'm still just feeling beat and way more sore than I should have. 

Well when unloaded the bar I should have added 25 pound plates and I actually added 35 pound plates so it was a 50 pound increase whoops! 

This goes to show many of us could be putting out more effort than we realize. See now I'm gonna be at a way higher working weight just because I was mentally holding myself back. 

My poor glutes still get angry when I sit on the toilet hahaha. 

I need to learn how to use a belt.

My abs are sore even.

Video idea scott? Or Alex?

@Herculesinwyo That's awesome man! The body goes where the mind tells it, and sometimes it's good to play games like that where you just lift heavier than what you think you're lifting.. even if you did it un-advertently lol. Good work man!

And check out this video for using a belt properly!

Thanks for the link l, I was gonna search your channel tonight when I finish work. You saved me the trouble

I did this recently with curls. A guy left the ex curl bar loaded [ like an asshat] was more than I thought I could do ,so I was the only one in the gym and thought what the heck I will give it a try .

Got 4 reps in yep I'm learning new tricks every gym visit.

@Herculesinwyo You must be making all kinds of gains Mike! Keep up the STRONG work man! 💪 

Yes sir!
