Whats a tapered style belt? and why are they bad? i used one like this once http://www.cardillousa.com/weight-belts/standard-line.html
The CF4+, are these type of belts good for deads?

I mean, it's not bad but I don't feel it offers the support that a thick untapered one does. A belt's main function is to allow the stomach to expand out on it. This protects the back by taking pressure off it.

If I were to get a new belt I would probably get one like this.

Call it a personal preference on my part.
