When to wear a belt.

[the_alcatraz]

I use a soft belt like the ones from Rehband when I hit the 50% mark. When I am at 75% the soft belt comes off and the hard belt goes on. Anything at 90% or when I am going for something like a very heavy yolk run or or where I'll be giving max effort over several reps, the hard belt is on over the top of the soft belt.

Damn bro, two belts? That's hardcore lol

Its become popular enough that Rehband has even come out with a new line of their soft belts called the "Strongman Series" the essentially incorporates a hard power belt with the regular soft belt.

You can see one here.

I happen to own one, and wear it a lot as sort of a "mid-range" belt.

Does wearing a belt affect the amount of weight that you can lift? Does it help to lift more weight or is it only for safety reasons?

If you know how to use one, it can add a few lbs I guess. But in reality it is just a safety device.

I like one for the sake of safety. I don't find I can push more weight with one. Maybe mentally though?
