one of my friends has now got a herniated disk, he said this was most probably from deadlifting ( he used no belt ), what do you guys think should you wear a belt even with good form????

Once you get into higher weights it helps keep your core tight. I usually just wear mine for working sets with the heavier weights. It can help prevent lower back injuries if worn correctly/ correct technique is used with it.
As the other member said, wearing a belt won't help if you have ****ty technique.
Also tell your friend he should wear a belt if he deadlifts again.

i read this on another thread...
The purpose of a belt is to increase intra-abdominal pressure. By pushing your stomach against the belt, you create internal forces that act on the anterior side of your spine. This works to stabilize your spine, and thus entire body.
cant link the thread sorry
so if it stabilizes your body how would it not improve form?

hey let me just tell you WOW belts make such a big difference! they help stabilize the back a lot more, i just bought one last week and started using one, now my lower back "hurts" less after heavy deadlifting sessions
take whatever pre-cautions to stay injury freebench press: 275/300
squat: 365/400
dead lift: 435/500
