should i get a lifting belt?

@xxbossxx No, with your history I would check the ego and stay away from 1rms. Focus on 5/3 rep or reps.

@yuvastyle bro everyone has a 1RM. it’s not an ego lift thing

@xxbossxx And yet not everyone has “pretty bad” scoliosis, which a belt will not help, but knock yourself out.

@yuvastyle i was just adding context, i wore a back brace for 2 years as a teenager

I found this guide "The Benefits of Weightlifting Belts in Fitness Training" that has a lot of info on how to use belts, different types, exercises and so on. Good read. https://strengthguides.com/equipment/the-benefits-of-weightlifting-belts-in-fitness-training/
