I need to buy a new belt. Does anybody have a brand they love?
I was looking at the Schiek competition belt or a Cardillo. Any ideas for a comfortable and supportive belt?

www.prowriststraps.com--APT belts look pretty good too. Used to have a nice Cardillo belt a long time ago.

yeah i looked at those too. they look really nice. i might get those. the cardillos are a bit too bulky for me. i like the foamy feel of the schieks. the APTs are like that too.

I heard Phallix is good.
j/k but why go so heavy with the weights that you need a belt? You can get ample returns with out the need of a belt.

The $25 leather weight belts are good enough. You're wearing a weight belt throughout the entire workout?

Unless you are going HUGE I just don't see the need. Think of it as a fantastic core work out without the belt.

ya i really dont see the point in a weight belt. unless you have a back injury you are trying to prevent from reoccuring. and if youre wearing this thing for your whole workout, all youre doing is hurting the natural strength of your core and lower back.

weight belts arent needed unless your maxing on squats or deads or if you have a back injury and arent going to stop lifting.

It may also help with form too as far as keeping your back aligned correctly. I know a lot of people that have terrible form when squatting. It can't hurt to use a belt as a precaution.

Address the real problem first--fix the bad form first. And I second what everyone else has said, belts should only be used when going super heavy on squats or deads or rows, or if you have an injury that you're trying to work thru/around. IMO the real point of the belt, isn't so much to support your back as it is to support your front-abs, core whatever you want to call it when going for max lifts on certain movements. |

I'm not speaking from experience so you might be right. That is why I said it "may" help.

Same goes for lifting straps, when you use them you sacrifice forearm strength

i never understood this logic. when using straps, you get to hit back harder since the forearms give out before the back does. then you can just work out forearms when doing arms. im not sure you have used straps before but if you did, youd know the difference and how much fuller you can target the back. not tryna sound rude, im sorry if i was.

The terminology in the quote above is a bit off. A belt increaces "thoracic" pressure not "intra-abdominal" pressure.
Semantics aside, stay away from the futuristic looking fabric belts with the narrow backs. The majority are for looks although there are some well designed ones. Pick up just about any well built leather wide back belt, break it in by wearing correctly and oiling it from time to time and you will have a lifting accessory that will out live you.

yes you are right. but it is still going to have an adverse effect on your grip strength. which isnt really a big deal though, unless you do a martial art with a Gi. and there is no stabilizer muscles that get weak by using straps, that can stand to injure you with heavy lifts. like what can happen from wearing a weight belt. so ya go ahead and keep using your straps.

If your really trying to bulk up then I guess use the straps, but personally I'll stick to not using them, there's no sense in having such strong back strength when you cant even hold onto weight your using.
