Weight Belts,When,Why,What size?

Quest Posts: 2 Joined: 2001/08/12	2001/08/12, 06:40 PM I have been thinking about getting a weight belt but I really have not felt the need yet. I am worried about safety though so I think betterr sooner then later. What I want to know is what size I should have and what does the size have to do with it? Can someone help me out Thanks, Quest

It is the same thing as when you have wrist supporting gloves, they become dependant of the support. So i would use the belt when you progress in weight in squats and deads.-snow
