Looking at his pics, he has one of the best physiques on the board.

I wear one for squats and deads, even at light weight. I have a trick back and it does seem to help me.

Back in the day we wore it all through the workout on every bodypart except abs.

Bet you wish you'd held on to that belt....  I mean, imagine what a dinosaur-skin belt would fetch nowadays..?

Haven't used a belt in 20 years.  All I take to the gym is my towel and a couple of thin grip cloths...

Centuries ago when I owned my own gym, it was amusing to see how many guys would either walk in off the street - or back out again - wearing a fully cinched belt and some of those fingerless velcro lifting gloves  .... it can't have been a co-incidence that they were usually the ILS guys on Team Penguin Waddle....

Mind you, during this period I sported the obligatory fanny-pack/bum-bag, low-trap top and clown pants combination (oh brother ), so who the f**k am I to judge!?...

If  Mike O'Hearn got big naturally without one then so can I.

Its usually used by guys that have a gut to hold it in, or guys that have no v taper so they cinch it tight as fuck thinking it will give them one.  They aren't needed unless you're a powerlifter.

Use my trusty Inzer on heaviest lifts only.

I was doing deadlifts last week and was told with weight that heavy I am going to get a hernia if I don't start wearing a belt to give my stomach support. I loled

Oh dear me - -

Only not when Front or back squatting unless over 4plts a side
and not when I deadlift !!

Gave it up 15 years ago and haven't considered one since.

Only wore it due to stupid BB magazines.
