Do I need a lifting belt?
Do I need a lifting belt?

Parker Brown
No
Oliver Sullivan
Only if your lifting pants keep falling down
Isaac Bailey
Just make sure it’s single prong when you actually buy one
Tyler Hill
If not, you may as well get one now so it'll be broken in for when you do need it.
I usually put mine on once I hit 275lbs or higher in warmups for squats/deads
Aaron Scott
Aw dude
4 strength 4 stam LEATHERBELT
Brandon Smith
Why?
Eli Lewis
I think riptoe recommends using a belt for 1xbodyweight squats, 1.5xbw DL, and 0.75xbw OHP
Aaron Rodriguez
kek. good shit user
Adrian Harris
wut, why?
Christian Hill
Yes and make sure they match your gloves, wrist wraps and gym bag.
Dylan Brooks
hey daloron!
Cameron Thomas
Could I snap my back if they don't?
Julian White
Make sure you get one with optional plug attachment.
John Harris
Kek
Adam Young
He also recommends shoes.
I don't want to prep up that much.
Will a belt help against my tendency to squat good morning when the weights get heavy? Currently at 163kg 1x5 squat
Julian Taylor
>275lbs
Lmao. Literal babby weight.
David Russell
You should use a belt on every single set of your compounds excluding warm up
There is literally zero reason not to. Belts actually increase abdominal muscle activation, so you make your core stronger, let you lift more weight, and are safer

Yeah I think those numbers are a little too low, especially for DL
Michael Murphy
I used to believe in the whole pussies only wear belts and gloves bullshit, but you have to realize that in your later years that if you fuck up your shit now, you're gonna be one of those "I used to bench 315lbs until I broke my shoulder" faggots. You'd much rather be the 6 plate deadlifting boomer freak that took his time, had plenty of rest, got plenty of food, allowed his body to recover, took necessary steps to protect his back.

>pussies only wear belts and gloves
I think my gym might kick me out if I did that.
Jaxon Martinez
No.
Fpbp
Isaac Nelson
Jacob Gomez
So what do you need in total?
- belt for squats, deadlifts and ohp
- knee sleeves for squats
- gloves for benchpress
Anything else?
Asher Miller
Ethan Hernandez
a purse to put your testicals in
Jeremiah Morales
You don't but it helps on every compound.
John Hernandez
Even bench?
Liam Clark
Easier to set up compared to double prong and provides same support.
