[Meso_z]

[webcake]

Lots of twinks in my gym last night.  17 year old 120lb monsters with white tank tops.

 You have to start lifting at some point right? I never had a real problem with "twinks" in the gym. I figured, well at least they are in the gym trying. I do have problems with twinks who walk around acting big and tough and not having any respect for other members.

QFT. I have a problem with people, twink or big, who train standing next to the weight rack.

Yea it's more about their annoying mannerisms, loudness and wearing clothing that shows off their "muscles" they don't yet have.

I actually see this a lot where i live, but they wear the belt so loose it's not supporting anything.

I was the same way though, i remember after only a few months of lifting i went to the local sporting goods store and purchased one of those cheap leather belts.

I like to bring a lifting belt to wear over my shoulder like it's a wrestling championship belt.

Never worn a belt.

You will when you fuck up your back the first time.

True. i bought my belt firt time I fucked up my back squatting. Three months after I stopped wearing it. Still sleeping in my gym bag I think. Never needed it after.

[slaveboy1980]

avoid using a belt most of the time.

Hmmm great idea, I should try that. 

[JasonH]

I wear a belt for the following:

Heavy Squats
Havey Deadlifts or rack pulls
Heavy Standing Calf Raises
Heavy Press Behind Neck or front presses
Heavy Dumbell Presses.
Heavy Hack Squats

Note that the operative word here is "heavy" - if you're not training heavy for any sets of the above exercises then no need to wear the belt in my opinion. The rest of the time it should be used. Don't try and be a hero and train without one.

This guy should have used a belt... around his head...

I don't notice other men in the gym...I'm busy doing things like working out.  Are there things "meso z"?

I hardly ever wear a tank top in the gym,only in the summer,and when I first started lifting I never,ever wore a tank top,just t-shirts.
twinks that dress accordingly don't bother me but twinks in wife beaters and their skin tight sleevless Under Armour get mocked

[swilkins1984]

Definitely bring a belt but just don't wear it constantly like on light warm-ups and non back/leg exercises. You'll never develop those muscles and be more prone to injuries.
