Comments:

This was my first squat session with the belt, and it is definitely going to take some getting used to.  It definitely makes me more conscious of my abs, but I always thought my support there was pretty good.  I do feel as if I've lost some flexibility, though, and depth.  I checked a bodyweight squat in the mirror, though, and my depth looked to be below parallel.  Still, my technique felt a bit ugly all day, but it got the job done.

I'm learning something interesting with the single leg curls - my left hamstring is quite a bit stronger than the right.  I hope that this will help.
