why do pros find it necessary to wear a lifting belt ALL the time nowdays? i even see them wearing them during lateral raises, curls, flies, etc etc.....i can understand heavy compounds like deads, squats, etc...but what is the reason for wearing them for everything? they actually weaken your core and create huge increases in blood pressure....
also, do any of you think that this may have a small contribution to the distended stomachs on so many pros now? if your core is always stabalized by a "crutch", it makes sense that it would not want to support itself...
discuss!!
thanks!
