Ive found it very beneficial to wear a belt when pooping, the extra intra abdominal pressure produces an astounding thump into the bowel

I personally like using a belt when performing curls in the squat rack, gotta confuse the body.

I bought all new pants with 4” belt loops to fit my weightlifting belt. Now I never have to take off my lifting belt out of the gym

It’s 2am and I’m about to watch a 20 minute video on lifting belts

[DrSwole]

The belt “slideshow” was the pinnacle of lifting education

[johnfleming]

You’re very right about the psychological effects of the belt. I put one on the other for the first time in about 9 months and it made me feel like I could lift a lot more

But do I need a belt for reverse barbell curls in the Smith machine?

Every time you said meet prep, I was thinking steak

[mattschwensen]

Thanks dude. I have never had an interest in wearing a belt but when I look around in the gym I see a lot of people wearing them and I start to wounded if I’m doing the wrong thing?
This vid Has helped me stay beltless.
Keep up the good work my man 👍

I needed a new belt and thought I'd check out one of my favorite fitness you tuber's products. I know I'm a year late but the code still worked, thanks for all the fantastic information and I hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for coming back to this topic! It's great that you revisit old content and reinforce fundamentals. It's awesome to see how your opinions evolve from your own experiences and from training your clients throughout the years!

I've just started working as a removalist and i'm going to buy a belt for work. My lifting form is generally safe, however my shifts can be long and my form starts to slack as I become fatigued. So I think a lifting belt is the play.

I’ve always done it by weight. Once I get above a certain percent of my max I’ll use a belt

[Bylandar]

I was having a really hard time understanding what you were explaining until I started watching the cones

[vaanes]

When: while lifting
Why: because you can
How: around your abdomen

Thank you for attending my TED Talk

I have had a 3” single prong Dominion Strength belt for a year now and I LOVE it. And it matches Alan’s beard.

This is THE video on belts! This should be the only search result for lifting belts! Awesome video Allan!

[madmike]

I've trained on and off for around 9 years now and have never put a belt on. Now that I'm increasing my workouts and looking to push strength higher, I'm interested in maximising the weight by finally deciding to wear a belt. This video came at the right time for me, thanks Alan, you answered all my questions very well as someone new to belts. Great video !

[microchrist]

Not only did I leave the video when you told me, I went and ordered the untamed blood splatter belt 4” on discount 💪 great video
