Anyway I was...

been seeing a lot of videos online and dudes at the gym doing momentum lifting. Like with rows swinging their arms back and forth and when squats not pausing during their lifts. Does this make sense?

Just doing cleans, clean and jerks, bench press, squats, deadlifts. Nothing else. Or is that too much stress on the body where I could get injured.
I absolutely hate leg day to the point where sometimes I skip it. It is really hard on my body and I get sore afterwards especially my upper legs near my grind. How do you get hyped up for leg day? Deadlifts and squats just take everything out of me like I've been punched
I've noticed the past year more and more people working out at my gym who take their shoes off especially with things like squats and deadlifts. Is there something that they've learned off of social media where some Guru told him to do this or is it something else going on. What are the...

Over the past 6 months I've increase how much weight I'm doing on my lifts specifically my squats and deadlifts. I see guys in my gym which is pretty hardcore using belts and I'm the only one without one so I feel kind of naked. What kind of belt do I need to look for and how much do you think...
