I thought it was going to be a fancy new weight training belt.

Anyway, I could never spend so much on a belt. It'd always be covered by my shirt. I like my current belt though, it has a bottle opener on the back

11/14/2009 4:46:48 PM

that must look really weird to people when you stick a bottle up your butt like that at parties and such

11/14/2009 4:49:25 PM

Its the back of the buckle, haha. Still gets the weird responses anyway

11/14/2009 4:56:51 PM

YOU BETTER HAVE GOTTEN THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ONE

11/14/2009 6:05:26 PM

that thing is ugly

I've heard arguments that lifting with a belt results in a weak core . . . thoughts?

11/14/2009 6:19:02 PM

I never really got the point of using one, but I can see how it would reduce how much your core muscles are used. I know its for protection, but don't understand what exactly it does.

I'd like to get a belt for doing weighted dips and pullups though

Quote :

"When I started training, I used a weightlifting belt for every exercise. I would basically keep the belt on for my entire workout. It was a big mistake and here's why: A belt is very effective for stabilizing the abdominal core area. However, it is so effective that your core muscles aren't challenged and don't develop effectively. This can leave them weak and your core unstable, fostering a reliance on the belt. A belt should really only be used for near-maximal lifting with very heavy weights. If you need a belt to do bench presses or barbell curls, you should re-examine your form and honestly evaluate your core strength. You may be setting yourself up for a back injury. Here is another thing to think about: a belt works to stabilize your core by making your abs push outwards against it. Do you really want to be training your abs to push out and stay there? It's like training to make your gut stick out. Lesson: ease yourself off the belt if you currently use one. You will need to slowly work back up to your current weights to ensure you don't hurt yourself. When you go to do a lift, suck in your gut and tighten your abs. You will develop far better core strength and stability, not to mention tighter, flatter abs. "

Think I am misunderstanding the use of the belt. :Runs out of thread!:

[Edited on November 14, 2009 at 6:24 PM. Reason : I thought it was a belt for the car at first, too, jbaz.]

It really depends on what you are going to be using it for. I generally agree w/ that notion, with the exception of maxing out. Am I going to wear on the majority of the time? No. This belt will be for use in "raw" powerlifting meets. As I will be competing w/ a belt, I will be training at maximal loads with one. If I weren't competing, would I buy one? No.

Does the use of a belt at maximal load make more core weaker?

11/14/2009 6:26:33 PM

So wait, it is a weight lifting belt? I feel stupid

11/14/2009 6:37:26 PM

you buy a belt...then what? You have this sudden urge to come home and write about it on tww?

dumbass

11/14/2009 6:39:47 PM

You shoulda gone to TJ MAXXX. I once got a MSRP $125 Polo Ralph Lauren belt there for only $19.99.

11/14/2009 6:41:11 PM

THE PETTER

yes... it's a lever belt...

they are generally prefered to a traditional buckled weightlifting belt, and have a smaller break in time, too.

[Edited on November 14, 2009 at 6:42 PM. Reason : the ones w/ the bigger back are useless shit]

11/14/2009 6:41:18 PM

Ansonian, I didn't go out to buy it, as Inzer is not generally sold in stores. I ordered it from the website...

Yes. But I'll only say that on TWW, never to your face
