    Tired of getting injured

    @wally1648 If you're questionable on your bracing technique I'd suggest a good belt. It's a great cue to concentrate on bracing/valsalva for me, plus it gives me the confidence imagining I have a steel collar around my waist, which for the mental game is a win.

    Expectations

    @mnh84647 Yep, can confirm. Gonna be 52 next week. I didn't find anything resembling consistency until last year, and I'm 90+ percent there. Had to do some joint rehab here and there, and I'm long-limbed so it gets harder as the weight increases, but I'll be a solid 1/2/3/4 for a few reps...
