Only cool people wear belts all the time?

[Get_Swole]

Seems like any guy in my gym that thinks they are decent sized wears a belt no matter what they are doing. Its annoying just to see. Forearms, calves you name it the belt is still on no matter what. I can understand if you have a hurt back and need some extra support or something, but not this many guys. I hate wearing belts i dont see how people could be comfortable wearing them while doing curls and everything else under the sun. Only time mine comes out of my bag is when i go over 405 or so on deads. I just get a giggle out of it every single day lol.

I see that, too, but it's usually only on the older guys. Seems like an "old school" thing to do.

unless they have an injury all they are doing is screwing themselves on developing their core muscles

Only person I have seen in my gym wear one is the owner on occasion, but I have seen quite a few that need one.

CH3N02 must be the coolest guy ever then!! Of course he does have a cool belt too!

I only use a belt for heavy squats. A guy at the gym I go to wears it in the gym diagonally across his chest like Rambo with bullets. I hope to one day be able to do that!!

belts should only be used when:

-on a job site that requires heavy lifting
-maxing out at the gym
-if one is currently injuired due to back issues

besides that .. I HATE PEOPLE THAT DO THAT SHIT, and what gets me are the young kids that do it, being told
by the OLD guys that if they dnt theyll hurt themselfs... when in reality thats the #1 way to get injuried

Thats exactly what I was thinking, they just want you to know they have a belt. You should always have it on anyway even out of the gym! you want to wear it under your shirt. You never know when your gonna have to max out to impress someone. Why take the chance. I wear mine to parties in case there are some hot chicks. I'm ready to lift the ass end of a car on the drop of a dime!

Just kidding in case anyone missed the sarcasim.

Someone needs to invent a sarcasm font, lol.

Lol, who is doing that? He must not stay around by the time I get there. I'd probably laugh out loud if I saw that. Maybe he just carries it there until he actually needs it, but still, it sounds funny.

I think he sleeps with it on, too. lol. His belt is pretty badass, though. I'll pick one up someday... after I get to be a big guy.

i wear mine alot more now a days, but i do have lower back issues. i think it helps keep my stomach tighter. the dissention hurts my back more. i also train abs directly now as weak abs stress the back more.
im 'top heavy' too. my gifted shoulders sometimes seem more like a problem.

I think I'll get mine embroidered to say, "Bad Mother Fucker" right across the back! LoL

Hahaha there was a guy at a gym I go to who had "BULLDOG" written on his belt in marker. He walked around with his imaginary hams tucked under his arms. I couldnt stand watching this guy train. He would throw the 120 lb DB's over his head, his range of motion was about 2" in his press, then drop them from full height. What a dip shit. He always wore a body armor shirt then I found out why, holy gyno! haha what a tool.

yeah he's actually a really cool guy he's a powerlifter. He uses his belt to squat, bench and deadlift. but I like his entrance with the belt across his chest :laugh:
