I know what he means
4pl8 squat or 5pl8 deadlift, maybe. It really isn't necessary if you're natural, have good form and not top 1%.
my rule is anything at or above 75% of my 1RM get the belt/wraps/sleeves/etc. Anything below 75% is nakie.
>wraps
>sleeves
Whats ur max dead
5 pounds
currently
>bench: 330
>deadlift (sumo): 520
>squat: 500
Post bodyweight
Solid, is sumo a preference, or do you do narrow stance too?
there's no point unless you're in a competition
My rule is anything that's going to put pressure on the spine, over 200lbs I'm wearing a belt. I'm 150lbs and suffered a snap city visit though. I can't really do squats and dead above 300lbs anymore. I don't think it was a good idea to put more than 2x bodyweight on my spinal discs t.b.h. You'll all frick your shit up and realize the same. Wear a fricking belt, maybe it won't be as bad. They help for OHP too if any of you pussies can actually do more than 1.5plate.
You don't OHP 1.5pl8. You don't even OHP 1pl8, pussy.
This.
It always takes an injury to learn that there's 0 harm in using it even with light weights for protection. Same goes for wrist wraps.
Are you 4 ft 3 by any chance? You fricking pussy lmao 150 pounds is a child to me you should become a fat powershitter roidtroony
that only happens if they start roiding after theyve stopped growing
roids change your face too
This is why you have to train neck if you also train traps
I just wear a belt when im deadlifting above my bodyweight. Or if im nervous about a squat pr.
And anyone who laughs at me isn't gonna make it anyway.
If you walk around the gym wearing a belt you look like a tool.
>Judges people wearing belts
>Wears a belt to deadlift bodyweight
I have back problems
You're a tool.

The belt reduces carry over to real life because you don't wear it outside the gym.
Using a belt gave me a hernia while warming up with 120kg DL. I never use a belt after that. I squat 180kg and DL 200kg without.
I use belt on almost evry exercise. feels good man. i dont care about the haters.
