support belts

[21infantry]

Hacnt ventured into knee sleeves specifics... I bought what ever sports authority had lol

Just like anything else there can be a huge difference in knee sleeves but I was busting his balls. Rehband are legit, pricey but legit.

I've been contemplating a belt I haven't squared heavy in a while because my back is so screwed up

That's why you should have a nice solid belt. Prevents a lot of injuries from occurring.

Knee sleeves are something I may have to invest in soon. Now that I'm in my 40s the heavier squats are really doing a number on my knees

Sucks ass. I grew up in all the heavy running sports. High school I did cross county, soccer, track, and tennis. The didn't teach you to run, they just said run. So the damage I have done to my knees is regrettable.
I tried cortisone last year. Two shots in my left and one in my right. The right was better for a year. The left never helped at all. I refuse to go back because of the damage it can cause. So I'll work around it for now.

I do. I have messed my back up pressing without one.

My wrist is my issue when OHP. Crazy enough it's ok with other presses until I add push-ups in. Added them back last week and this week my wrist is fucked. Made DB presses difficult today.

Hell yea man. I got an Inzer lever belt a few years ago. I used to love my old ass Harbinger belt but it's a piece of shit compared to the lever belt lol.

Never heard of the lever belt, but now you guys have me intrigued. Going to have to check this one out

Once you go lever you will never go back to anything else. You won't have to anyways they simply won't die if you buy quality

This post did 2 things for me.
1. Going to get a belt.
2. I no longer feel guilty for having skipped squats, more than doing them, this past couple years. Apparently alot of us have been!

I just did a sweet squat workout today for the first time in over a year at least and it's all thanks to my lady suggesting I go next door to academy and buy a support belt for my back and abdomen. I don't know why I never though of it before but it made a huge difference and I was able to go heavy and not hurt myself.
Sometimes the simplest solutions escape me so I'm infinitely grateful for my smart ass girlfriend. I may be in love [emoji7] she's adding so much to my bodybuilding I'm speechless. Sorry to get mushy but damn I never thought a woman would complete my lifting passion like she has.
Anyway the thread isn't about her but to say that if anyone has ever thought about getting a belt to help with back issues DO IT!! Harbinger is like 21$ after tax and worth every cent!!!

I have been saying ill get one for awhile. I havent even been able to squat with my low back pain. I always viewed belts straps gloves as unnecessary gym accessories but im thinking I need to at least try the belt

I used to have wrist issues with a lot of pressing movements that were heavy. Didn't matter if it was shoulders, chest, or triceps. My wrists would get fucked. A few months ago I invested in getting some wrist wraps, and it made a WORLD of difference. My wrists are completely pain free now, so I would look into it bro
