Hey!
What are your thoughts on belt squats?

Good replacement for barbell squats as main lift?
Good replacement for barbell squats as main lift as long as you have another load bearing lift like e.g. deadlifts?
Not suitable as main lift at all?

That's a good recommendation, thanks!

I will use SLDLs in my warmup and get the benefits of a bit more PC volume and balancing.

I'd like to use them in my future training blocks, because I'm a bit concerned if the little amount of DLs is enough posterior chain work. My conditioning work (E and HIC) is done on the C2 ergs (rower, skierg, bikeerg), which all don't really work the lower part of the PC (e.g. hamstrings, glutes) ...

I hope this wasn't adressed in the books and I'm just too dumb to remember it

RDLs are not treated like "regular" DLs (from the floor), right?
So for RDLs you use the same rep/set scheme like you would use for squats/bench etc. and not the options from "Incorporating Deadlifts"

Thanks, I started Fighter with my first session yesterday.

Hey! Like the title says I have a hard time deciding between Operator and Fighter. I'm a landscaper and we do a lot of big stuff, which means lots of shoveling, carrying heavy stuff, pushing wheelbarrows etc. That's the reason why I chose TB over over strength routines that demand a lot of recovery....
