It's a utility and an aid, but I don't like to use it as a crutch. It just gives me safety at high weight and helps me feel more confident in the weight.

I personally don't like to wear a belt for anything over three reps, or under 75-80% of what my top set will be, of course there are exceptions, like if my brace in warm up feels weak I might throw it on for a top set of 5, or throw it on a little earlier. For sets of 1,2, and 3 though I enjoy the way I feel with a belt so I wear it for 100% of my top sets. I do extra core specific work so I'm not too worried about development, and it feels good to wear the belt so I do
@beastmodebuns82553 жыл бұрын
I have an inzer lever belt and I’m stuck between settings (1 setting is a little too loose and 1 setting is too tight) and if my weight fluctuates sometimes it gets worse and then it takes a lot of effort to change it with a screwdriver (you don’t really want to do that mid workout). So like Alan was saying I would recommend the pioneer prong belt so you can adjust it accordingly. Also, I find I need my belt tighter for front squats and over head presses than I do for other movements, so not being able to adjust quickly really sucks.

I payed 125 bucks for peace of mind in all honesty once I had it I gained the balls to move up in weight knowing I had extra protection, same goes with straps, I would rather not rip my hands off just to seem hard? If using some material between my hands and the bar makes me feel like I can lift more, why wouldn't I. As someone who got into lifting on my own and not from influence its so funny to me how people care so much about belts and straps, if I moved 500 pounds I moved 500 pounds why the fuck would I use less equipment to make it harder on myself? Are we lifting weight or having a who is the bigger dumb ass competition?

I wish I'd worn a belt more often on 2x+ bodyweight deadlifts/squats. Herniated a disc earlier this year.. That may be due to the fact that I wasn't taking enough days off and/or lack of good form but I just don't think it's worth it to not wear one at higher weights especially when my body is feeling tight and the potential for injury is higher. I don't think it's a substitute for bad form but it's not worth having to take months off because of a bad day where the belt might have kept me in the gym.

It's a damn fine belt; my friend wears one. I spent just over $200 on a custom Pioneer though and would still go that route again. The SBD leather is top notch, but so is Pioneer. I like the SBD lever over a regular lever, but I got the Pioneer adjustable recently and it's definitely better with the micro-adjustments over SBD's tool-less convenience, as unless your weight fluctuates wildly and often you won't really need to break out the screwdriver where the micro-adjusts are great in the winter garage gym to compensate that extra 1/2" for layers. But without customization, Pioneer rings in much cheaper, and you can fully customize your Pioneer with colors, embroidery, or imagery for the same price as an SBD which comes in one color. And the guy that runs it is always active on Instagram having Q/A sessions and seems to really care.

I own an SBD and a Pioneer. The Pioneer is pretty nice. The SBD is another level of nice. The SBD is very well made and I like my Pioneer cut.

Plus if you get crazy customizing a Pioneer it can be more than the SBD.

Ok, I’ll get the one prong deadlift belt. I liked the clip belt yet Alan makes a good point about that front part getting in the way. Thanks. Is this gymreapers 10mm-single-prong-belt-green belt any good?
