Yeah I wanted to quote those, but all I could find on a quick look through the ptc was the deadlifts, it's only a comment on a forum to a guy who prefers to talk about his penis, I wasn't going to spend hours on it.Please dont make me pull out belt less squat numbers David lol
Where is this mythical place with "thousands of people" who deadlift over 200kg? Can you point a few of them out?haz said:makes no sense. there would be thousands of people who wear a belt and deadlift over 200kg.
Did they wear belts training all the way from the 20kg bar to the 300kg lift?haz said:im sure you'd find that alot of the people that deadlift over 300 wear belts. ill judge by those results that we all MUST wear BELTS.

Because the place I know with the strongest drugfree lifters overall - in Melbourne, excluding perhaps the Oly lifting clubs - is PTC, and they don't belt up.
I mean, I see blokes with belts on in my local gym and my school gyms. And they're squatting and deadlifting less than me - less than a guy with scoliosis, which if you look it up and use your imagination will see does not help in lifts using the lower back, since only half your lower back gets used.
So I think these sorts of lifts are not that common. But hey, if they are, let me know, the more heavy lifting gyms out there I can visit or lift at or recommend to others, the happier I am.

Sure, you're doing a competition lift, lifting the heaviest weight in one go you'll lift in months or even that year, I can see that you'd want extra support - but hey, heaps of people don't use it even then. But say your comp lift is 300kg, you need the belt for the 100kg warmup?
Do you lift 300kg? How did you get there? Or if you don't, how did those people get there? Belts all the way? If there are "thousands of people" who do it, should be easy to tell us about some of them, yeah?
Haz, first squat and deadlift as much as the guys lift WITHOUT belts, then chase the ones with belts.
Using your example a novice who pulls 40kg should wear a belt because he saw someone pull 140kg with one.
Got depth?
Shorty squatting 2.4 x bodyweight
All the vids I've seen of Shorty show him squatting same style with wraps, belt, suit.
They just give him 40kg or so.

Kyle lives a 2 hour + bike ride from PTC, and he still managed it once, he hasnt got a car, fair commitment I'd say, I know I wouldnt do that, knowing what was waiting.
Why would anyone bash Kyle over this argument. He presents facts, not theories.
He has seen something, not read it. Passed on what he SAW, not heard, read or theorised.
I'd like to know when and why you guys started using belts, something you read or some guy in a spa using it for curls.
At what weight did you buckle up for squats or deads.
