using a belt again

[jamesM]

I started using a belt again at the gym and noticed that my lifts have actually went down
I used to use one years ago and it would help stabilize my back
then I stopped using it and noticed my lifts went down a bit
but now its weird I am using it again and getting less strong. Why is this?

i don't believe in using belts and based on the science i have researched think they do more harm than good

Zero idea. Maybe you're using it too much. I only put a support belt on most of the time and a proper belt for my heaviest sets only

Not sure exactly but maybe you are just not as strong as you used to be.

 

[Tiger Salman Khan]
