Weightlifting belt or no belt for fitness?

Lately, I had a discussion at John Reed. John Reed is the new brand of McFit in Germany. There was a young bodybuilder and the place was crowded so we shared a power rack. He was doing rack pulls with 90kg while I was doing squats 140kg 5x5. After the second set, he approached me and asked whether I was competing in powerlifting. I said no as my squat and deadlift are not good enough for a decent total. He said he knows the feeling. Berlin is very competitive for bodybuilding. He does not want to step on stage without a chance to place top three at least. He wore a lifting belt and asked me what I would think about wearing them as I was lifting quite heavy. I told him I was on a juggernaut cycle and had not been using a belt for at least a year. Nasty comments on YouTube and a weak lower back lead me to that decision. He replied that his mentor is a huge fan of belts. That got me thinking.

Why fitness trackers are useless

This article provides you with an in-depth overview of the current wearables market, a use case and real-life examples from someone who has been using fitness trackers for several years. All in all, most fitness trackers lose their usefulness after six months when the trainee moves on to a higher level of fitness and needs a more specialized tool to support progress. The claims that fitness trackers are completely useless are blown out of proportion based on poor research and stupid users. Trackers are not necessary to get fit, but in the right hands, help to reinforce good behavior patterns. The devices become useless because they have fulfilled their purpose or their wearers misused them, not because their design is inherently flawed.
