I don\u2019t know about you guys, but I get so motivated when I watch guys my size lifting an incredible amount of weights. I hope my videos might inspire your workouts and give you guys goals as it does for me. I tell all of my clients that if they are lifting the same amount of weights today then a year from now their body will look the same. I\u2019m always encourage everyone to increase their strength and weights.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The common questions I get from Youtube is why I don\u2019t wear a belt. There are pros and cons on wearing a weight lifting belt while training. It\u2019s great because it keeps your core in place during heavy lifts, but the downside is that your core doesn\u2019t increase strength. Research has found that wearing a belt does help increase your lift. I rather do everything raw.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Here is a clip of me doing a raw 515b dead lift:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"662\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sh3-8HnSmAo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been recording myself beating my Personal Record (PR) at the gym and uploading them to Youtube.
