I had an interesting experience Squatting yesterday. After besting my 1RM from last cycle I had an epic fail on the 6th rep of Squats. While coming back up I felt an intense pop in the core of my body and simultaneous loss of stability. Didn’t even think to try and save the rep, just dumped the bar. When I finished standing up I looked down and saw my lifting belt laying at my feet with the roller blown clean out of it. Scared the crap out of me but no damage as far as I can tell.
Checked the internet and though it doesn’t seem to common it does happen and even to a few people during competitions. Moral, inspect your gear before each use . . . .
P. S. I knew I was getting stronger but my belly???
