TweetI would really question the need for a belt for you at this time. Your a big man, still holding a lot of BF and relitively new to weights. Lifting without a belt will ensure you buld a strong core and stabilizer muscles.
A few years down the road when your a svelt powerlifter, working on your 1 rep max buy one......by then the belt you bought today will wrap around your waist 2-3 times.
Good luck

TweetWow, 600# standing calf raises !!!! I guess I shouldn't be suprised I've got a buddy that probably has got a 55" waist or so and he pushes some awesome weight with his legs (very weak upper body though).
I am going to differ your question to others, I'm not really sure what you should do in this case.
Sorry pal, I'd rather give no answer then a bogus one.
Good Luck,

TweetThere you go, your upper body is weak. I would recomend not using a belt and let your upper body catch up. start a regular ab routine to help strengthen your core strength. It will strengthen your lower back as well. CONCETRATE ON YOUR FORM!!! If you have to go out of form, drop some weight.Originally posted by ogarchamplin

TweetConcur...tighten those abs up..also, dont forget to stretch your hamstrings.. Hamstring shortening is the #2 cause of low back pain. If you stretch, you will no doubt see relief, if youre otherwise OK, low back wise. For belts, Inzer Advanced Designs has the best, IMO.

TweetGetting that core built up won't be something that happens overnight......and hopefully by then you'll be a 5X (or less)Originally posted by ogarchamplin

One more thing, on those standing calves, squats, DL you may want to stay away from the low rep routines for now if that's what your doing.
On a side note: Youve got the greatest avatars.......are you a graphic artist or something? Nice work.

TweetThats one thing that has always bothered me. I have always wanted the big biceps and the six pack plus the hulking chest but no i get the strong and large Calfes and thighs. Not really something that impresses the ladiesOriginally posted by gunz
