Belts give carryover that is negligable enough that they are not universally used in competition. Scott pulls without a belt. Warrick Brant squats without a belt. Lots of people lift without sleeves. When knee wraps are involved, everybody who is competitive uses them because of the quite significant carryover they give when used properly.
Very few get carryover from belts that is greater than from wraps. Chum you would indeed be a rarety.
And I'm not being childish. Ignorant opinions from non-competitors are indeed stupid. I'm being a bit PL elitist here but its true that your opinions in this argument are irrelevant until you've stepped on the platform and you're just throwing fuel on a fire unnecessarily.
