Question:
Well, I bit the bullet...
I bought a belt. I figure where I am now its a safety factor to not have one. Ill ONLY use it on my max attempts, ALL my training will be beltless so I dont cheat/weaken my core. I bought the Inzer 10mm double prong forever belt.
how does it feel to be a dirty little gear whore? *whip* you like being a dirty little gear whore don't you? *whip*

a belt is not like gear , i.e. bench shirt
why the double prong and not a lever belt?

hahahhaha, lay off the porn bro
I feel that just training sometimes with belt and sometimes without it will let you do well with the belt and not cheat your core. Also, if you relax your core with a good belt like that, you're ribs are going to be in for a world of hurt when they get crushed against the belt (which doesn't give at all). And I only put on a belt after 405 on days that I use the belt.
Dude, relax. Its a belt.
People get sooooo carried away with things like this. If you're going to compete in it you should train in it. Does that mean you wear it all the time? No. Doing sets of 1-5 reps with 85% and above? Might be a good idea.
Do you honestly think if you add 50 pounds to your belted squat, your muscles that are specific to that lift won't get stronger right along with the added load? They will, and specificity is what you're after.
So, not convinced? Ok, lets say you don't believe my little hypothetical there. No problem, because you are still doing aallllll your submaximal work beltless, giving your core plenty of stimulation, plus, as a powerlifter, I'm sure you are doing some specific core assistance.
