what could happen if my belt rips apart during a heavy squat?

[fqqs]

did anyone have this kind of situation? I have a velcro belt and wonder what could happen if it rips apart

I don't wear it ultra tight

Any time I tried a velcro belt, it popped off if I tightened it to the tightness of a real belt. I doubt your belt is doing much for you anyway so it is likely that nothing will happen.

I would get a real belt.

That said, I'm sure you'll be fine if it does happen. A velcro belt probably provides little assistance in terms of intra-abdominal pressure anyway.

One way to not rip any belts is to squat without a belt.

even if you fasten it really tight? why so?

I use my belt only on my heavy 4-6 rep sets. Only squats and deads

Have you ever worn a real belt?

[Anthony21]

It could potentially take your mind away from concentrating on the lift and in turn you may not make the lift.

I have used a $30 leather belt that has a buckle, and it worked well. Can you afford a $30 belt?

[fqqs]

Yeah, I've worn normal buckle belt sever times, but didn't liked it and couldn't get used to it.

I work only in 4-6 rep range, and velcro nylon belts are much more comfortable for me, I find. Money is not the issue.

It's not supposed to be comfortable...

So should I have trouble with breathing?

I do. Have been considering loosening the lever on my belt, but I just figure it's from the small fat gain i made because of the holidays.

Breathing is overrated.
