I don't except for 1x max reps. I think they hurt you in the long run as long as you got good form. No gloves either, they are for pussies!    | ||

Zyclon, First - love the screen name. Second, you've got the right idea. I sometimes do those exercises with upwards of 685 or even more, and a belt restricts breathing and actually weakens the back because it becomes dependent on the extra support. | ||

Wearing belts during Squats and Deads weaken the muscles in your back (ie. Erector Spinae). I do not weat a belt and do not advocate this for any of my clients either. ------------------ | ||
