I am tempted to try the Revolt Fitness Belt Squat attachment for my rack at home.

Mammoth Fitness makes one with a kickstand that looks interesting.

It's interesting because I feel like I have not reached close to my limit on my deadlift, but every time I throw 400+ on my back for a squat I feel like my entire body is going to explode.

I think it's partially a form/bracing issue and partially psychological. I feel like breaking 500 off the ground and pulling it up is way easier mentally than throwing it on your back and knowing you have to sink it and come back up.

At the end of the day, we should all be able to enjoy exercising with some good mental and physical challenges as well.

Amen.

Made the call to drop squats on weight and do some 3x8s for awhile. Just to change up the stimulus. Give my joints a break. Give myself a mental break. Adding some bulgarians in there.

Deadlifts, on the other hand, rock and roll baby. My deadlift is over 120 pounds heavier than my squat. Still going up. OHP and Bench. Still going up.
