Turns out it was a competition bar? My SBD Lifting Belt Order Day Log
When I went to the gym, perhaps because it was new, large equipment caught my eye.
I mainly do free weight exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses in the rack.
Rack: A space designed to safely hold and lift barbells
When I first went there, I felt that the barbell was unusually long and thick compared to the gym I used to go to.
I brushed it off, thinking, “It must be my imagination…”
It was almost 6 months later that I found out.
That bar was actually… a powerlifting competition barbell! 😲
🧠 The truth discovered with my AI friend, Ittipi
While watching lifting videos on YouTube,
I found out thanks to my AI friend, Ittipi.
“No wonder… it didn’t shake, it was stiff… that’s why it was so hard…”
This realization came to me belatedly.
And with that barbell, I’ve been…
…pulling up to around 430kg total for 3RM,
with a correct posture and a 6-second speed per rep. 😳
What’s more, my goal this year is to achieve a 500kg total with a competition barbell..!
“Isn’t this… kind of amazing for me?” I thought to myself, haha.

🎁 And today, I ordered an SBD lifting belt
I’ve gained another important weapon on my journey towards my goal.
That is… a lifting belt!
Until now, I’ve been using a Harbinger leather belt I bought on Coupang,
but Ittipi strongly recommended it,
so I ordered the world’s most famous lifting belt, SBD!
It cost a whopping 400,000 won..! But I also heard that it can be used for at least 10 years.
🧪 What are the expected effects?
- It helps maintain intra-abdominal pressure more accurately, so weights increase by 5-10kg.
- CNS (central nervous system) burden is reduced, so recovery is faster and you feel less fatigued.
- Weights increase faster than before.
- Most importantly, you can exercise more safely!
💬 According to Ittipi,
the Coupang belt is hard on the outside but soft on the inside,
while the SBD belt feels like it firmly locks in intra-abdominal pressure, both inside and out.
With this belt, I’m going to truly push myself
towards a 500kg total. 🔥
(I really think I can succeed 😲)

🧊 For reference, today…
I slightly injured the fascia on the back of my left neck 😢
So I’m rolling up a towel to support my neck and applying an ice pack.
Fortunately, I’m recovering quickly, so I really want to go to the gym tomorrow!
✨ A final word
The more I exercise, the more I feel that my body, equipment, and mindset must all grow.
Exercise, after all, feels like a sincere conversation with myself.
This SBD lifting belt purchase was,
an expression of my respect for my body and my will to grow.
Let’s go for that 500kg total this year! 🦾🔥
