do u guys use weight belts

[badasss]

i was wondering about the weight belts... do they really help your lower back or what? i have never used one before... i see a few people with them... i was just wondering if i should get one?

I dont. Unless you have a a back prob or are powerlifter than its prob not necesary.

 

[Citruscide]

I don't, but I probably should... seeing as how my back hurts like a mutha.

every once in a while i use it to give my back a break from that kind of stress,but i normally dont

train without a belt, your abs and back will thank you later

 

[supersizeme]

what enrage said. lose the belt and build up your spinal erectors and also get a good ab workout in the process. just maintain good form and don't let your ego try and lift heavier than you can and you should be ok.

I do. I have a strong back and abs, but I want the support for certain things. I'll put one on for deads, squats, heavy DB shrugs, BB rows, and standing BB curls.
