Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I just signed up to this gym and I swear half the dudes in there walk around with weight lifting belts, there is even this goofy old dude who walks around like wobbling around and he wears it and it is all crooked around his waist. Am I missing out on something or are belts necessary?
do you guys still use belts?

I use a belt to do heavy squats so my back is controlled
bro only belt i use when i punishing kids
I used a belt maybe for a year but hated it
Only on my very heaviest sets on some exercises.
Example: SSB Hatfield Squats: bar x reps, 60kg x reps, 140kg x reps, 180kg x reps (support belt only) and then 220kg x reps with the proper belt on.

It is up yo you, but if you do heavy squatting belt provides great support, no need for injuries
I do for now which heavier lifts due to an umbilical hernia but after I get my surgery I will go back to not using one. Helps keep my core tight.
Haven't used belt in the past couple of years....
It depends on the person and their goals/style of training but regular gym rats should just train raw IMO.
They are great for keeping the back tight.
