I need one too if I'm gonna attempt that standing press comp again, too old and will buckle like a matchstick without one.
So what is this lever belt? I'm all for practicality.
A great resource for the boy or girl who wants to bodybiuld.
watch the movie then do the exact opposite.
They are useful aside from squats/DL/OHP etc. especially if you have any back issues. I actually haven't worn one for almost two years. I have been looking at some new ones recently, and will reintegrate it into my routine. On another note, I can BOBB row 100+ quite comfortably with no lower back discomfort, but when I do T-bar rows (with or without the actual handle, sometimes I prefer to just hold the bar) there is tremendous pressure on my lower back and abdomen in comparison to BOBBR. Given the position isn't that different, it's purely a product of the location of the weight. Anyone else find that?
So you're saying nobody should wear a belt unless they're powerlifting?
tbh, building those muscles up from not relying on a belt, ive found, way improves injury prevention. but everyone is different.
since ditching the belt, i haven't been injured, not sure if its directly related, but im not going against my instict that says its partly related.
You're on to something here.
studies suggest, and these studies are collected by hundreds and thousands of people throughout the world for the last 50 years have gone unnoticed because of the success rate, and scares a lot of people in the industry, it would put a lot of people out of work, now, you might say I'm crazy, but from what I've read and experienced and seen over the last 40 years of my life this is true.
yes, but for guys doing regular heavy lifts, why not use a belt?
Yes, I would agree avoid belt as much as possible, but for the 5% of very heavy lifts, why not.

People can do what they like, I just gave my reasons.
think about it? one does not need to be strong to be working at a maximal effort that puts strain on body.
You should think about it dipstick
Perhaps if it allows you to reduce the chance of injury, move more weight in an exercise that does not directly target the lower back, or both it has merit?
real life experience and observation trumps studies any day in my book, because ive worked where study's have been manipulated, and i was the tech performing it, then i see the paper and im like, whoa? thats not what happened, you obv skewed the results, i saw first hand, raw, exactly what happened, im the person that did it to them!!
since then my belief in studies had severely degraded... and my trust in myself and instict is starting to rise.
you seem extremely small minded. nowonder you never made it anywhere...
you deserve everything you get on this site.
full of talk, but you never walk the walk, you mostly criticise from what I observe of you.
You know it all and are really good, but hell we never see anything of you.
it wasn't until 6 months ago that I actually understand a little of what had been written, before then I was ignorant, I see things in a very different way now, when I converse with people, they do not understand and get angry, and confused, so I don't talk about it anymore, I just do it, most people at the gym I go to also just go through the motions, having no idea of the benefits these machines are adding to their lives, they literally just go through the motions, and even then the results are remarkable.
some will spend just 30 Minutes a week on exercise, 90 seconds a week on one particular machine is the difference between being able to exercise or spend most of their time in pain.
