I've thought about bands, but haven't tried it yet. I use the calf raise machine for belt squats and I've maxed the number of 35's that'll fit. It's either bands or taller platforms to stand on and 45's. Been doing them twice a week for awhile now.

I like it.... I was trying to find something on Google to see the set up and didnt find.
Like a real belt squat machine?

I found those and my gym is never going to get a real belt squat machine. I was trying g to see how the calf machine worked
Same with my gym. Luckily they have a squat rack, deadlift platform, and allow chalk, but it's mostly a gym that caters to old people and casual lifters.
The calf raise machine works and also you can do it like you would at bar row, although it's more complicated and a bit dangerous. One of those landmine things would probably work, too.

Yup seen the landmine version and doable at my gym
Rogue sells this thing that's like a platform that attaches to a power rack with a hole in the bottom. You attach plates to a loading pin that hooks onto a belt and you squat on the platform. It's the only actual true free weight version I've seen. One of these days I'm gonna get motivated and DIY one like it. Wouldn't take much and they sell the belt with the loading pin.
Loading pin and 2x 16" plyoboxes work great. Having a foam Plyobox that is about 24" is nice in case u have to bail out. U sit onto the foam block. You can do box type belt squats like this too.
Couple more weeks of offseason training till I start a more rigid program. I did get all my gear for this year which include 10g anadrol, 50g test c, 1g halo. I cant wait to "test" my halo, my mouth waters just typing that. It better be good I paid a premium for it.
Also added a rackable camber bar, and a safety squat bar to gym last week. I would love to get the Wenning Belt Squat machine, but I dont think it will go down steps into my basement. I have room for it and a few other machines still.

Sounds like a pretty good home you got going
Giong back to a more conventional strength wave. About 3 weeks of GPP work with a heavy day here and there seemed to at the least get me a little more bullet proof and some extra gas in the tank.

Thats a good amount of volume and I could have done more. I want to see how I recover from this before adding in a few more acessory lifts. Im running 900mg test a week now without a second compound. Im going to run anadrol in a deficeit probably 1500 cal for 4 weeks starting Nov15. I want to be on edge of maxium recoverable volume by then. I plan on being beat down after 4 week cut and will need a short deload.

You’re doing IF and lifting like that? You’re a better man than I am, lol
Ill do a walk through video one these days
I could have done more but think with the deads I woul need an extra day to recover if i did any more. About20 min after I eat and drink a Gatoraid I get my energy. I sleep a little more while doing IF and wake up unmotivated. I do all my lazy stuff before I eat. I train about an hour and a half after eating and drink a Shake and Gatoraid while training. I find a BSN Synha 6 Edge is way better than BCAA intraworkout. I will never buy BCAA again. Im not even using creatine just food, 900mg Test C wk, and 1 shake a day.
