 Next question is from just a girl in her Jeep. Should I use a weight belt or just work on strengthening my core and proper breathing? Very similar question. If you're going to use a belt in competition then you're going to want to train with a belt because it's a specific skill and it's a specific core recruitment pattern. Everybody else avoid belts. By the way, this is coming from someone who uses a weight belt when I do heavy deadlifts or squats. Why do I use a belt for heavy deadlifts and squats? I did it for so long that I don't feel like taking two years out of my training to train myself to not use it. That's literally how long it'll take. I've been training since I was a kid and when I was, I think I was 15 or 16, that's the story I talk about when I ran into those power lifters. And they're the ones that, oh, you got to use a belt or whatever. So then from 16 till now, I've been using this belt and I've gone through stints without using it. And I know it would literally take me a couple years of training without a belt and I don't care at this point. But to the average person, you're way better off developing the type of core stability that you need to train without a belt. And it's different. When your core braces without a belt, it's a different recruitment pattern than when it braces with a belt. When it braces with a belt, it pushes out against the belt. That does not do that. Well, it's interesting you say that because I'm probably in the opposite. Where I've actually done, it's been maybe since high school where last time I've really trained with a belt and heavy squats. And I feel like I've lost that ability to brace that way by pushing out. And so that would be so unnatural for me that it would take me forever to go through the process of working in that when I squat. I think, again, this is one of those things. If you're competing with it, it makes sense. And it's just at one of those things. I don't think that you need it if you train and develop it all the way up without one. But again, there's places for it. Yeah, this is the same answer for me as the last question. Again, the last time I used a belt, you probably can look back on my Instagram and actually see because I would do post of showing the audience like, hey, I'm using a belt today just to test my strength, right? I don't care about that right now. I'm nowhere near my top strength on any of my lifts right now. So I haven't used a belt in whatever that post is. I'm going to guess it's been well over a year or two since I've probably used it. But again, intermittently, I use that just like straps. There's been times when it's same just like my shoes. For the most part, 90% of my training is flat shoes or barefoot and strapless and beltless. But all four of those things I utilize occasionally. And a lot of times I do it because purely for ego, I want to see what I can put up that day. I want to see if I have a little bit of support underneath my heels so it doesn't stress my ankle mobility as much. I got plenty of room. I want to feel that. Sometimes I want to throw the belt on and maybe stack an extra 50 pounds on there just to feel that heavy ass weight. Sometimes I've lifted really, really heavy the day before. My forearms are fried, but I still want to rip dead lifts and I get the straps out. But very, very rarely, especially right now, since my goals are not geared around aesthetics or strength really right now, it's more about health. And then back to a point one of you made already, I've never had a client utilize a belt or straps. I've only had a couple. Yeah. Now you've done a lot of work with your ankle mobility and that's been more secure and you've got the depth to go with that and everything. Now, in terms of each one of those aids, which one do you think now after putting work in, you probably see the most help from that aid versus maybe one doesn't have quite as much of an impact? That's a really interesting question. And one, I think we would have to first break down the lift, right? It depends on the lift, huh? Right, yeah. If it's a dead lift, the belt, you've got to be on the straps. Yeah, the straps. Yeah, arguably the straps because I'd say right now my limiting factor of doing 400 pounds would not be my core or back. It would be my hands probably couldn't hold 400 pounds right now, but I think my back and hamstrings and glutes are strong enough. The shoes are big, were way bigger than I ever thought. Sal introduced me to heels, sorry. Yeah. Ironically, the heels of the shoe guys. Yeah, yeah. So I had never used squat shoes in my life before. This is where this is pre-Adam knows he has an ankle mobility problem, right? So I didn't recognize it yet. And I thought, well, that's so weird. Why were these held up? I did it and I was like, whoa, I felt so much more comfortable. But that also led me to realize like, oh, shit, I have an issue with ankle mobility because all he did was raise my heels up and all of a sudden the squat felt better. Same here. I did it and I'm like, why am I squatting better? Oh, wait a minute. Yeah. That's why I have flat feet. You know, when I actually, so to get to your point, Justin, if I go back, like let's say squatting right now, because I can get really good deep, a depth barefoot right now, pretty comfortably. It does feel a little more comfortable with squat shoes, because you obviously have, I have even more room. But it doesn't, I don't feel like it, like I'm not adding any more weight really anymore because of the heels. We're in the path, the squat shoes would, I could add more weight because of the squat shoes, not anymore. Okay. The belt though, I can still get probably another 25 pounds up because of that. And so that would help me in squatting big time. Actually, so I feel the belt, you brought up dead lifting. The belt helps me more with squatting. The straps would help me more with dead lifting for the, so, but very minimal and I don't care now. So I don't actually use any of them ever right now.
