Not necessarily
But it's probably best to use a belt if you're worried about it
I squat beltless for almost all of my training
Especially if you're doing lowbar you should probably wear a belt above 85%
Depends, do you normally use a belt and what % of your 1rm is it
But I don't use one and have forgotten to tighten my belt for multiple lifts and training beltless has made it fine
I don't ever go above 85% in training either but that's my program
You run conjugate Saxon?
I run Sheiko programs
Fucking Russia
Meddling in our gains
I have been colluding with Russia
I know an old guy with a pacemaker who runs Sheiko. Idk how it hasn’t killed yet
Yeah that doesn't sound safe hahaha
Or maybe it's more safe because he has a robo heart 🤔
315 is my 1RM
I've actually never used a belt
Don't worry about it then
Maybe consider buying one, but I personally like training beltless. Strengthening the body independent of equipment
All belt does is help you brace to create more internal pressure. As long as you’re staying tight you’re good. Also if you get one, I’d recommend getting a quality leather one
13mm or bust
hmmm I'd get a Olympic weightlifting belt
not too much of a crutch and not flimsy either
I’m with Nick, 13mm or bust. My belt is awesome now that it’s really breaking in. No belts for Olympic lifts as I don’t compete weightlifting
But I do love the c&j
Love me some OHpress
And I always use a belt for those, especially if I'm going heavy
OHP is always such a humbling exercise for me. I expect it to be so much easier than it is because of my bench and it never is
my ohp is surprisingly not that shit
compared to my bench atleast
It's taken a lot of practice for me to make my ohp even comparable to my bench
I thought the two would translate to being similar but they're just not
For me, anyway
I can ohp bodyweight but I’m a manlet so
I want 225 ohp
200 would be good enough for me rn
I'm guessing ohp isn't one-handed press
Lol Barbell overhead press
O
I just call it military press.
