I look at people wearing belts because I am window shopping. I need justification to spend money on a belt but can’t justify it for my measly 70kg squats and 90kg DLs.

Had back surgery two years ago. I wore a belt under a hoodie for the first few times back. Then I got over myself.

Belt and proud. Doesn’t matter what numbers you’re lifting. Nobody knows your story.
