Weight Lifting Belt, Cheap vs Expensive? Hi guys, Im in the Market for my First Power lifting belt... Im getting into heavy enough weight now where i would just like to have one on hand for when im working close to max. The questions i have, is if im looking at two belts... same specs, both leather with same buckle but one is $25 and the other is $65 how big of a diff can there really be between the two?

Help picking out a weight lifting belt? First off, if you are just going to say that lifting belts aren't good to rely on or that I am lifting too much weight, please don't bother posting-I am not interested. Also, please only answer if you have actual experience with them. If you are just taking an educated guess or repeating something you heard, don't post. Ok. I have recently started to lift real heavy weight to get ready for next rugby season. I haven't found my one rep max yet for squatting because of fear of getting injured.

I want to pick out a nice leather lifting belt that will give me the proper lower back support I will need to continue doing heavy lifting and more, but have no clue what to get. If you guys can offer some advice on the matter, please share. If it helps, I am 19, 130 lbs, 5'6", and have a 29 inch waist. My form is good and have plenty of lifting experience.

What present should I buy my weight-lifting boyfriend? I want to buy my boyfriend a present and I know that he likes lifting weights. He already has a belt. Can anyone think of anything fun and weight lifting related as a gift? (I already got a couple of power bars)
Belt vs. no belt when weight lifting? This is an ongoing argument in the lifting community. Some people always use belts, while other people never do. Of the people that do use them most often they are used during heavy or max weights, or while doing lifts that put a lot of strain on your back such as squat or dead lift. I used to always use a belt while doing power cleans, and squats etc. but I’ve recently stopped altogether. I know that some athletic programs such as the University of Oregon football team have no belts in their weight room and they frequently have players putting up tremendous amounts of weight on high back strain lifts (such as clean and jerk, squat etc.). The theory behind this is by not wearing a belt you are strengthening the muscles enough to not need one. I would like to hear other people’s opinions.

Weight lifting: Should power cleans work the shoulders and back? I'm 21 and started doing power cleans for running/soccer and to jump and touch a basketball rim (a couple inches away). It's only been the sixth time I've done power cleans. The past couple of times I've had soreness in my back and shoulders. The soreness in my back feels normal like my back is getting a work out. The soreness/pain in one of my shoulders feels sharp when I make a down-up row movement and has me a little worried. Is this normal for the first few times? I'm just doing 135-155 lbs for 6 reps. I've been watching videos of people on youtube who appear to have good form. My other numbers are squat: 8 reps of 265 lbs, bench: 175 lbs for 8 reps, leg press sled: 630 lbs for 8 reps. I don't use a belt and I don't max. I feel stronger on my leg work because my upper body is thin. I weigh 165-170 lbs and I'm 5 ft 11.5 inches tall. And I'm a guy. Thoughts or similar experiences?

I need some advice from experienced weight lifters? Ok as of May 3rd i have 10 solid months of free weight lifting under my belt. I havent been slouching at all either. I do it every 48 hours, inless im out of town or sick/hungover. I do: Day 1 Anywhere from 60-80% of my max on bench press Bicep Curls: Both arms simultaneously with either 15 0r 20 pound dumbbells Day 2 Squats and Calf Raises with maybe 70-95 pounds Forearms exercises with barbell In between sets i work up a decent cardio and sweat by playing basketball/shooting hoops.

I want to be thick, with impressive looking muscles, but not fat, with a double chin and a beer belly. I am currently 5'9" and my weight has been ranging anywhere from 198-215. My equipment is limited.....just a rusty old bench and set of free weights in my front yard...i feel like thats all i need anyways. Do you have any advice for me....im planning on really going after it this summer.

Weight loss and muscle building? Hey everyone, I am just wondering how long it will take to see some results, mainly the loss of my belly fat, doing the following program based on my body data: 105kg or 220 pounds 6ft or 183cm Body mass index of 29.9 Have a slight belly which sticks out about 1.5 inches from my belt line but doesn't hang over or anything. This is what I have started to do: 1hr fast paced walk session through hilly streets 2-3 times per week. 1hr weight lifting gym session 1 per week. Lifting 20-25kg at the moment with 3 sets of 8 reps on many different workout machines including a stomach cruncher. Bicep and shoulder excerices with 10kg max per arm dumbell set 20 minutes 2 times per week at home. I would do more but I commute 4 hrs a day to and from work so I'm already short on time. So in consideration of all this, how long do you estimate before I get bigger shoulders, arms and lose this belly? Thanks for your help! By the way, I'm 26 years old.

Huge Question on Weight Lifting Belts (squatting)? How important is a weight lifting belt? As far as I can tell by the research I've most people don't use the belt unless it's for a very heavy set. As for myself I'll be using it for squats and deadlifts. I've been lifting for about 6 years now. When I was in HS I was able to max squat 605 with the belt. I actually think I used the belt fairly often at that point. But now that I'm 3 years removed from HS and still lifting is it important? I would also like to add that I do suffer some lower back pain and I'm not insured so its hard to get it checked out.

i'm 6 foot about to start weight training, but i need some guidance, also on whether to start taking creatine? i am 6 foot, i think its crucial you know my weight but i don't know it, my dad reckons since im very skinny i can't be less then 60kg-65kg because of my height. In a few days, my weight set(90kg), weight bench, barbell, dumbell, weight lifting belt gloves, wraps , skipping rope and punching bag. What should i start off doing, any websites to see, my diet will be shitty, although i have the milk, my fitness used to be good, last year, rescently i have smoked a lot in the past year, but two years ago i smoked even more, and i stopped and got fit, by running a lot and i could do runs faster than most in my school of 1000, then i stopped.. Also when should i start creatine, or not start taking creatine, all im looking for is to really bulk up, but have more of a fighting physique, because atm i get into some fights, and its not like when i was younger that just being aggresive helped, i got nothing other than a "old school boy" technique on how to throw a punch that's probably useless. Don't worry, i'm really not that interested in getting in fights, but it is fun, although still im not looking to be some pumped football hooligan, just once in a while, the main thing is, im going into year 11, and i'm a nerd at heart, so i'm stopping smoking ganja, aswell as cigarettes for sure, and don't touch other stuff anyway.. I always go on to much, cause i can type fast, sorry, and thanks, sam

Do I really need a weight lifting belt? Please read? I am 42 y.o. I weigh 150 pds at 5 foot 8. I can bench my body weight comfortably. I have a low back injury from a car accident 20 yrs ago. It hurts on and off, although I am lucky. I know people with no history of car accident who have worse back pain than I do. I accept the fact that I will never be big, huge or musclebound. I just do light work with weights for overall fitness - to get me away from the TV - that sort of thing. If I do squats with 135 pds (MAX that I will work out with) do I need a weight lifting belt?

What's would be the best weight-lifting belt for me? I don't usually wear a weight-lifting belt because I never really needed one. I've had a sore/injured lower back recently, and I was stupid enough to go to the gym. One thing led to another and I ended up hurting my lower back while putting the weights away. It was ridiculously painful, and I couldn't bend over at all without pain shooting from my lower back down to my left leg. I went to the doctors and they said that I managed to injury lower back to the point where my sciatic nerve was being compressed everytime I bent over. He said I needed a lot of rest and ice, and it would heal up on it's own. It's been a week since the injury, and after lots of stretching and icy-hot, I don't feel any pain any more. I want to start my weight-lifting regiment again, but I'm afraid of reaggrevating my lower back again, and feeling the paralyzing pain again. Would a weight-lifitng belt prevent any injuries from coming back? and what brand/ type would you recommend that I buy for my case?

I saw the famous hulk hogan NWO belt that hogan wore to wrestle. I also saw some nascar and other various types of betls. I was wondering where i could find these belts, i looked on ebay and nothing came up. i went there but nothing there, one web site only has those original black or brown ones. Hey thanks for helping me thou.
