Bad news Chef, with the warm up I either pulled or strained my back on the 10 Snatch Grip High Pull (the sad thing is I was just working on form and was only using the 45# bar, it dropped me to my knees though). This is the third time within a year that a high pull has $%#^# my back up. What are your thoughts on lifting belts? I’m going to get one this weekend. Figure I’ll be on light duty for a week, dang it!!
Yellow and green what is that 18 and 25# or less don’t remember :*
