So, to be clear, it's reasonable for you to fall back on strong guys on this forum, but it's not reasonable for me to fall back on strong guys from outside this forum?Ryan, I think I will take the opinion of the 200kg + squatters over your and Oni's regurgitated internet articles. At the end of the day those guys know how to build a strong core and squat big numbers. Just remind me again where is your squat at? Has wearing a belt aided you attaining that squat? Oh wait thats right it doesn't matter because you like me squat sweet fuck all so we should probably take the sage advice of those in our presence that can squat, after all it stands to reason that their methodology works, they have the runs on the board.
Arguably however, aren't you sacrificing gains in leg strength if your back strength is limiting your squat however?
are weighted planks and ab wheel roll outs a better choice than say crunches/situps/pulldown abs as assistance work? at this point my belted squat 1rm is about 15kg higher than my non belted squat and even worse would be my deadlift in this regard, i feel like this could be a huge weak point to work on (i do most of my work sets unbelted as it is, only using my belt on 1rms/3rms and do rollouts twice a week with 10kg added for 3-5 sets of 10)
If you are allowed to wear a belt on a competition day.
Would you think it be wise to use one on a training day prior to that day?
Most def.
I think Louie Simmons also said that the obliques actually aid in hip extension as well

Using band aids such as belts during squat training will take away from this and promote an unbalanced development of strength.
