Hey everyone, I’ve never used a belt, but as soon as my arm heals I’m thinking of using a belt only for 1RM’s. I was reading in an artciel though stating that you shouldnt push against your belt, and just flex your abs really tight. Anyone who has used a belt, how do they use it? Just a thing I was wondering about so I can get a head-start when I get back into my training. I’ll also probably still do my 1RM’s without a belt, but if I ever think of competeing or so I’d like to know lol.
Thanks

You want to buy a belt to use with your 1RM’s, yet you probably won’t use it when doing your 1RM’s…?
Forget the belt, buy a dictionary.
Flexing your abs really tight? Like pullling in your belly button?
Doesn’t sound like a good idea.
This thread has some useful info on how to use a belt.
