Talk to me about belts?

I have a 3-way ligament tear in my left knee. Always wore a knee sleeve or wrap around the knee when doing DLs or SQTs b4 but, one day, decided to try lifting w/o it. Discovered that it didn't need it. So, I don't wear it any more.
Not so my lifting belt. Strained my right SI joint squatting (w/bad form) several years ago and it still bothers me. I've tried but can't lift as well w/o the belt. So, I'll just continue using it.0 -
No belt, wrist wraps, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves or straps for me yet, but I am not lifting that heavy compared to the competition lifters. Just lots of chalk.
Squats - 110 kg (242 lbs)
Bench Press - 62.5 kg (137.5 lbs)
Barbell Row - 72.5 kg (159.5 lbs)
Overhead Press - 42.5 kg (93.5 lbs)
Deadlift - 125 kg (275 lbs)0 -
I wear a belt for squats, and keep it on (though not nearly as tight) for the rest of the workout just to keep my lower back warm and loose.0

Impressive girl! Keep up the good work. I’ve got buddies who focus on purely hypertrophy with numbers lower than yours. That 95lb OH press is especially awesome.
