The concept is pretty new to me but I've really enjoyed this first week and think that it can yield some really great physical and mental benefits as long as Im smart and listen to my body.
The goal is to squat every single day (keeping in mind that I'm not talking about going for PRs or even going heavy every/most days). The "lift more to lift more" approach isn't new but I like the psychological accountability of it.

Quick squatting question for some of you more experienced folks out there ... at what point do you start using a belt or wraps? I repped 335 for 3x10 on my last heavy back squat day so I can obviously go up a good bit but last time I PR'd at 365 it was rough and it got me thinking about a belt or knee wraps for when I try for 405. Thoughts?
