Using a belt on deadlifts
I know this is an old debate but is it necessary to use a belt on low rep deadlifts??

I ask because i never use at all one for deadlifts but the last time i went for a one rep max i pulled a muscle in my back so now i'm thinking i should start using one... at least next time i try a single

Re: Using a belt on deadlifts
I never do, I prefer to use my core muscles, I think people rely too much on belts for DL's.

If your form is perfect, there should be no risk at all.

Re: Using a belt on deadlifts
I find the belt restrictive on deads so don't use it either. I think they can force your internal organs into the wrong place in the abdominal cavity when you brace the core. If you just started deadlifting a sensible weight without a belt & then progressed from there without using it, you'd have a much stronger core in the long run & have much lower injury risk & less chance of a hernia.

Re: Using a belt on deadlifts
depends on weight ur lifting i think, it can help brace in your obliques and make it so your not to big in the mid section some pro's use it for this

but i dont use a belt either though TBH

Re: Using a belt on deadlifts
I wear a belt for deads usually, sometimes I forget but it doesn't seem to make much difference - so perhaps its habit now. Some amazing olympic lifters don't wear belts at all. Certainly you shouldn't neglect your core muscles.

For heavy squatting - I think you should wear a belt - less for the back, more for core stablisation. The best squatters are powerlifters and you don't see many not wearing belts in competition.

Re: Using a belt on deadlifts
You will know when to use a belt during your first few lifts. Everyones diffrent, use it when necessary on heavy lifts. As you lift more weight your back will get stronger and get used to each level of weight. And like some peolpe have mentioned, some people dont use a belt. Look at DR.Squat when he was the 1st to squat over 1000lb! check out the video if you havnt seen it:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=fivhv5znPg0

Look carefully his belt isnt even tightened its hanging loose. Now that one hell of a strong lower back.
