@op.ar.a taking his custom dbgear powerlifter belt for a spin with some heavy front squats! . . Regrann from @op.ar.a - Swipe left Fat loss tip but first : First time ever doing Front squats with a belt. So I decided to do some tests and prep myself for my @optimumnutrition and @bodybuildingcom shoot. This @dbgear_llc belt is the truth! 🙌🏾 Man-o-man 315 felt light, so I decided to go up to 345 lbs. If I really pushed it I might have been able to get to 365 🤔?I didnt start using the belt till 295 lbs . Tip :When you are dieting down, going lighter isn't going to " sculpt " your muscles. Instead go moderate to heavy. At deficit calories, your body is going to keep what it is needed. So if you are going light most of the time. This means your smaller muscle fiber ie type 1 will be used more times than your larger more powerful fibers ie type 2A, 2B. Example if you do 15 reps (60%1rm) , the type 2s won't be fully recruited (used) till near the end. So all fibers won't be used till 12th - 13th rep as referenced in my book 👉🏾(Campos et al ). Pre order www.humanengine.com However at 85% 1rm ALL muscle fibers are recruited almost immediately instead of near the end meaning less chance of muscle loss. #humanengine #metroflexmurrieta #gym #temecula #murrieta #menefee #flexibledieting #TeamON #Teambbcom #sponsoredathlete #leather #handmade #leatherwork #belts #dbear #vermont #fit #fitness #gym #lifting #gear #vt #bodybuilding #strongman #crossfit #powerlifting #support #smallbuisnes #strong (at Metroflex Gym Murrieta)
