Hello everyone,
When I started training for real, my coach told me that a belt was useless and I should strengthen my back without it.
Than POB told me that my coach was an idiot and I should buy one.
So now I received a 10mm Forever Lever Belt a few weeks ago.
It was stiff as hell but I softened it a bit with my hands before using it for the first (and only till now) time.
I tried it when I was supposed to test my max for deadlift. That shit was still so stiff, I am sure it could have cut into my skin.
Now my question is when and how to use it ?
I read this article that gave me only a partial answer : how to wear it. ^^"
Now I know there are pretty knowledgeable guys here who could give me their opinion on what's in mentioned in the article as the "debate" on when to use it.
I have seen people use it on squat and deadlift, I tried it on squat it was more of a pain in the ass (the back actually) than a help.
So, on which exercises should I wear a belt ?
And on what rep range ? Or does it depend on another criteria ?
Thank you.
