Fitness Whole Pizza In My Mouth

[Senor_Taylor]

Opinions on belts? I feel like my form for deadlifts is decent, but I've always had back problems (working very hard to improve this). My back gives out well before my legs do, so basically I stop when I know my back can't handle it (Even with proper form). I never squatted or deadlifted without a belt before college, but stopped using one once outside of the weight room atmosphere. I don't really care about looking like a chode, but I want to make sure I'm keeping my back supported now that I'm back in the 300lb zone. A lot of modern literature seems to point out that it's not really about protecting your back, and more about just boosting your max.

What are y'alls thoughts?


Also, I've been working out before work as opposed to after work for a few months and I love it. I've been so consistent and my gains have been very good.
