Recommendations on Weight Lifting Belts?

Re: Belt is madatory for this home skillet

Sorry dudes, I have messed up my back before from squatting without a belt. And before you blame my form, think, who has perfect form on their last rep? And one rep is all it takes. And I do do lower back exercises, too, home skillets.

?I have perfect form on ALL reps.....otherwise you are going too heavy.

Perfect form???

How can you have perfect form if you are working to failure?

Why not??? Failure means just that....failure, not one last rep that is half-assed.

NEVER sacrifice form for ANYTHING....not even your last rep.


My 2 cents

Ever heard of the cheating principle?

I prefer to have a strong lower back so Idon't need them.

My shoulder prevents me from doing squats... that is the only exercise I ever have used a belt before... I'd go with a WIDE one if i did get one.

Sure, I've heard of it......but I certainly don't subscribe to it

I have the best weight lifting belt you can buy. It's called "my shorts and boxers." Forget the belt and build up that lower back, home skillet.

<-------------------------------strong back

i thought belts were bad for you honestly.

just have a strong back, you'll thank yourself later.



and what gaurds said!

i don't use a belt, I think they are only needed if going for absolute max 1 rep...like in a power lifting meet. If you find yourself breaking form, lighten up on the weight. Trying to do too much weight is what frequently leads to injury. good luck
