I dont use one at all. Unless im suqtting or doing DLs for max. They are nice to have, but dont be that guy that wears the damn thing trough the whole workout. I got a few guys on my gym that wear the belt to do bicep curls and bench press... I cant help but laugh at them.
Belts are good for your heavy compound lifts. Before the lift, take a big deep breath into the abdomen and use the belt to push against.
Most don't use a proper lifting belt, a power belt is what should be uses or your getting nothing out of a belt.
Deads, Squats and Rows, not only will it keep lower back arced but it makes you more explosive and give you more power to lift heavier and or go longer on reps.
Warm up no belts then put it on at challenging weight.
People think they need bigger back of a belt then front and are mislead because the most important part of a belt is the front where you push your abs into.
I see useless belts 99% of the time until I walk into a power gym!
What do you guys think of this belt?

Think so? Damn.
I just don't like the conventional leather belts because they wedge themselves underneath my ribcage when I squat down.
i have 1 like that and it is a pain to use, hard to get tight and i think the soft material is uselessWhat do you guys think of this belt?
