Sounds good! When is the next event ?

I hear ya. For me, it all depends. When I was back squatting, anything under 225 = no belt. Deadlift under 300lbs; no belt. Press under 125; no belt. I never found it to make much of a difference on bench, but my bench isn’t that impressive so maybe Im just not at w heavy enough weight yet Basically, I use belts for heavy work sets and PR attempts. Anything else is just silly

I got my back squat up to 315 for sets of 5 during COVID. I hurt my neck surfing and efoiling and since then haven’t been able to back squat past 200lbs without my traps and neck muscles seizing up to thr point where I need a chiropractor. I missed squatting, so I’ve been experimenting with front squats for the past month, and so far, no stiff neck and I get to lift again. Belt is worn for the same reason you would wear one during heavy squats: support for your valsalva maneuver

You are absolutely right. But let me offer some counterpoints: 1. You, and many other “retail” investors, know about this before the rest of the institutional world does. When is the next time the little guy gets to front run anything in finance? 2. There will always be haves and have nots. To think otherwise is a recipe for frustration at best and depression at worst 3. Don’t get left behind. You aren’t stacking for yourself; you are creating generational wealth 4. The underlying monetary framework of Bitcoin can not be altered or adulterated. That is much more fair than the current system 5. Don’t hate money. Hate injustice, fraud, and cruelty. What you do with your wealth and time will have a greater impact on the world than you realize
