Bodybuilding?!

Bodybuilding?

What are those belts that some people wear at the gym for. I am 16 and train very hard 6 times a week, and hoping to make it to the top. should i be wearing one?

thank you very much

This is a personal preference. Many people believe you should. Some say no. I train and I wear a belt and gloves. I wear one for two reasons. First of all, to help support my lower back while training. Second, as sort of a reminder that I need to use my legs more for lifting than my back. At 16 you should be getting help from a trainer at the gym about these questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions of the other people training in there, or the employees. Get to know people. Since you shouldn't be lifting without a spotter, try to get one who knows a few things and ask them some questions you might have. And employees are there to help you. Use their knowledge.
