Exactly

when performing extra heavy lifts we need to hold the gut in

I never thought belts were for our backs unless the back is prone to injury where it MAY help

belts are for big girls!

I've done all my max lifts without using a belt

my what is a machine? ;)


I really don't like belts and think people rely too much on them and in many cases are just making their midsection weaker!

Not too sure about that - all of the WSM competitors used belts, and certainly all powerlifters seem to as well. I don't think any of them can be accused of having a weak midsection!

I think for a lift such as a squat (the only one I belt up for) a belt allows us to put our legs through more strain than without one

Many that I know don't use them for their normal weekly training.

You don't really know how strong their core stomach muscle are if they're always use a belt to create a hard core rather than using their abs.

By all means there may be a benefit for using them when doing an extreme lift (like on the day of a comp) but really there is little need for the overuse of them that currently exists in most gyms, so many even wear belts for biceps curls.

Definitely agree with this. Although with the horrible form most people in gyms use for bicep curls, the belt is probably coming in handy!!

that's true, I see some scarey bicep curls in my gym, the bicep rarely has anything to do with the movement!

I never even realised people used them like this

I can honestly say people in my gym only use them for a handful of reasons....usually squat/dead or if they currently are injured and want to be on the safe side
