When did you guys start using weightlifting belts? Want to get

Around 2pl8 deadlift

Only when I'm competing against someone either way I don't use it

>>35576235
Are you 5ft5?

>>35576235
i just wear it so my lats and delts look bigger

>>35576381
no 5'7

why?

>>35576235
Started at 2pl8 Squat and 3pl8 Deadlift, still don't feel that I need it for 70kg THE PRESS

>>35576429
Those are very decent lifts for that weight so I thought that you where a short thick guy. I'm also 5'7 but weigh 75 kg. My lifts are 135 didly, 100 kg squat for 4 reps and bench absolutely sucks at 60 kg.

Also, wear a fucking belt. Why wouldn't you?

a little less then 2.5plate for squat and 3.5plate for deadlift, at 180lb. ~1.5xBW and ~2xBW, respectively.

ive never lifted with a belt before

how much did it help your guys lifts?

how much do you squat and diddlydoo now? your THE PRESS is nice

>>35576508
173cm 75kg here (but probably more like 78 as of now), I'm squatting 104,5 DLing 109,5 and binching 62, all for 5
you're not the only guy with absolutely JUST bench, make sure that you've got your form in check, watch some Alan Thrall on it, I found out that mine was really lacking and now I'm trying to correct it so it may help you too

>>35578370
a belt doesn't really help you immediately. it helps over time by making everything, including your abs, stronger

>>35576235

That's not baby weight

>>35576235
i never use a belt, learn to squat beltless, if you dont cempete you dont need it.
with enough ab work i've come to a point were a belt adds more or less ~2/3% to my squat

I recently got a red inzer lever belt, love it got it in 6 days got lucky af pretty much, first time used was way too tight on deads and it dug into my ribs and hips it was horrible. I still need to learn how to use it correctly.

>>35579464
>he got a large belt

fatty detected

but yeah inzer belts need to be broken in

>>35576235

also get a belt that has the same measurements all around, and no prongs that will cut into your gut

>>35576235
around 1.5 BW squat for reps and 2BW diddlys for reps.
But I bought it basically for strict presses to keep the core tighter.

Honestly should have started using it earlier. Not for lifting more weights but for the safety. Since using it I don't feel a workout taxing my lower back hard anymore.

thanks for advice guys. i'm going with the inzer in op.

btw my lifts that i posted are 1rms. i was under the impression that everyone from fit diddled atleast 4 plate and squatted 3 so i always thought my weights were baby weights.

>>35580813
Haha dude everyone here fucking e stats hahahaha. Sad you learned now

>>35580813
If you hit 1/2/3/4 and are still here you are in the top %

>>35580813
How long have you been lifting? After a year you should be 1/2/3/4 for 1rm.

>>35581076
>>35581846
>1/2/3/4
what does that mean?

>>35576327
That's early, how long ago. Did it help

>>35582092
1pl8Ohp
2pl8 bench
3pl8 squat
4pl8 Deadlift

>>35576235
You should get shoes before a belt anyway OP.

squatting 3+ plates
Deadlifting 4+ plates

>still no belt.

Unless youre going for a rep max/PR i wouldnt recommend the use of a belt.

>I want something but only if society acknowledges me having it as acceptable

Holy fuck the definition of never making it sheep. Kill yourself.

Just started...squat 225 5x5 at 148 bodyweight

>>35582543
>148lbs bodyweight
Why even bother lifting?
You're anorexic. You would make better strength gains simply by eating more meat and not lifting than lifting which reduces your net calories.

>>35582575

>you're anorexic

No way you could judge that from a single number...

>you would make better gains not lifting

Lol what?

Get the fuck out of here bro

After I hit 1.5/2.7/3/4. I only use it if I'm hitting my 3, 2, or 1RM

>>35582406
this is not the what this topic is about at all

learn2read

80KG SQUAT

any reason to not start early?

>>35582620

Yes, you don't need it yet...might as well get your core a little stronger while you build up a strength base

Depends on your height weight

But it would probably look pretty silly

What's a good belt under $70?

>>35582586
>he doesn't understand how hormones work
Fuck off anorexic faggot ass faggot

>>35582695
There's like 6 belts that's good for $70
Mine is currently $60

I wanted a belt when I hit 325x5 on squats. After 315x5 my back started to feel really sore after each set. At this point I had already hit 405x5 on deadlift belt less, and 130x5 on OHP. By the time I got around to ordering the belt, I was up to 350x5 on squats. All of this was at 200 lbs.

Check George Leemans site musclemassochist. Click the store tab and there is a great belt for $55. It is not lever, but I'm fine with prongs. It is thick, made of real leather, and needs to be broken in a bit. I am a 35.5 inch waist and I use the second smallest setting on the large belt. The large looks like it would be good up to a size 41 or so waist.

>george? Why do you have a payment for $70 to muscle masochists on your statement?

>>35582797
Shit it's on sale for $48. Nice!

>>35582853
It's actually on amazon not his site
>>35582919
I hope you like it, I know it certainly helps me
Do some exercise like squats that get you really sweaty to break it in, your juices will soak into the belt leather and soften it up

>>35576508
Those are pretty average lifts. But anyways belts are good if you use them for maxes or training specific. Don't over rely on them since you'll get bad habits (like unable to brace properly without the belts help)

Sorry for what seems like shilling, but most people I know haven't heard of the whole quick release thing, and Titan Support is like one of two companies I know who makes them

keep going until you get to about 170-175kg on dead and 130-145kg on squat imo. Keep in mind that an inzer will take you about a month to receive once ordered so plan ahead. Also, lever belts are meme tier.

I finally bought a belt around repping 315 squat

>>35583462
>>35583482
Wallhaller rip-off

>>35583879
Never heard of them before, nothing on the first two pages of Google. Link?

>>35583891
Whoops, spelled the name wrong. It's Wahlander belts. I'm fairly sure they invented the quick release

Don't

>>35583929
Holy hell, $230 for a belt? I mean they're beautiful, but that's mental. That's like twice what mine cost.

>>35582386
>Unless youre going for a rep max/PR i wouldnt recommend the use of a belt.
I've failed all the PRs I've tried to do with a belt, except the 195kg squat I did, when I trained with a belt all month.

Wearing a belt takes practice, it won't do jack shit if you don't know how to use it and wearing it just for PRs will fuck up your movement patterns.
