Mixx, I've heard that wearing belts is not something one should gravitate towards. One should strengthen their core. Using belts is like a crutch.

don't use one, and you will literally be using crutches for real.

Are you suggesting that one should wear a belt for 20lb dumbell curls?

A Belt is not made for specific exercises of: you should wear a belt while doing these.......but, not for doing these. Oh wait, I take that back...if you are doing Yoga, of any kind, you do not need to wear a belt.

So, asking me to tell you which weight exercise(s) merit a belt, and which don't, does not really make sense. Any exercise that you are adding excess weight to your back, and groin areas (basically all weight training), you should be wearing a belt.

Me personally, from the moment I walk into a gym to do weight training, I wear my belt. However, maybe your testicles are just not that important to you, as mine are to me
