I'd definitely use a belt though in these kind of situations, way too much weight for the back's health.

my motto is, if you need a belt, you shouldn't be lifting it..

Mine's too, but you're not actually "lifting". No need for extra danger.

Meaning, you're not actually squatting etc. If you were, you were limited by the ROM, TUT, fatigue, leg strength in disadvantageous positions etc to "help" you prevent using too much. But here, you're only limited by "back strength" but if that fails... there's a much lower threshold for error.

but you're in a much better position leverage-wise, if you fail during a "lockout" you hit the pins which are not at all far beneath you. there's much more risk in a heavy full rom squat than a partial rep imo.. with partials you have to progress slow just like anything else, you have to use proper form, same shit, it's no different than full rom lifting except in the loads being used.. people do lockouts with insane amounts of weight, you are in a safer position + have better leverage + shorter rom in order to make those lifts, if you use sloppy form then of course you'll have problems, but the same goes for any maximal lift at any rom.

Well if I take me as an example, when I used to do unracks it was just my entire core "shaking" and feeling this "twisting" thing going on... like my spine was totally unstable and under the possibility of a little twist. You don't need me to tell you how dangerous that is. But if that's not the case for you, then...

well sounds like you had too much weight.. and you were probably holding for time.. i don't "shake" or "twist" at all, i just unrack (and/or walkout) and re-rack.. there's no shaking, it's a strict lift.

if your core is shaking holding a bar for ~5seconds then it sounds like it's too heavy.

bw = 155 (bloated)
soreness = calves
aches/injuries = none , AFTER STRETCHING ALOT BEFORE LTMP-SINGLES: ham tendon slightly
diet = protein/coffee drink, dunking + gatorade/protein-drink + 45-deg-hypers=50,50,slow-25,slow-25, protein/water-drink + half coconut water, lots of running with dog, half coconut water + jalepeno sausage on wheat bread + some chipotle chips, LTMP-SINGLES{unracks=unracking-pin-minus-3=455x1,475xFAIL, calve-raises=265x12, ng-pullups=bad-rom=22}, coconut water + protein/water-drink, big dog walk, salt n vinegar chips + tall cocount water + bag of grilled chicken strips (~4 servings of ~18g protein) + two
wheat bread + jalepeno sausage

sleep 8 hours

real happy about the 455 x 1 off unracking-pin-minus 3... need to stay at this pin until i get 475 EASY, then ill drop it back down to pin-minus-4 :F

my half-squat pin 6, is unracking-pin-minus-6 soooo.. pin 4 is really getting close..

hopefully dunking major tomorrow, did held-back-dunking, tons of stretching, light eating, and some heavy squatting partials, recipe for success :F

peace

Then you need to start working on your core stability & reducing the weight.

No wonder your back is fucked.

Haha, I didn't do that now... that was some time ago (a year or so). My back is fucked because of the Smith Machine and me doing calf raises on that.
