Is wearing a belt contributing to my love handles?

[Big Dave Smith]

There was actually a federal study done by the US Association of Alternative Medicine done in the early 80's. it supports the idea that body fat accrual was higher in regions compressed by weight belts. The theory is that your body recognizes the area as being covered with fat while the belt is on. When the belt is taken off, the physiological response is to replace that sensation of heat and compression with tissue build up. It's why people in sub Sahara Africa don't accrue fat around their midsection and lower backs, but people in colder climates do.

If anything wearing a belt while lifting would help atrophy the muscles in the area leading to a smaller waist

When I put on extra fat it all goes to my left foot. I wear my right shoe very tight. This is probably why?

 

[concreter]

I think I may have been wearing my Hat to tight ?

i've found that if someone wears their belt up to just below the nipples, the love handles seem to disappear right under the belt

But then wouldn't that give them gyno?

That makes absolutely no sense

Wearing a belt tight is going to

INHIBIT

the growth of obliques not expand them.

It works the other way around

What about wearing a tight cock ring at the base of the phallic apparatus?

This thread makes me think of Serge Nubret, he always wore a belt for his long training sessions. The leather belts with holes are a great way to monitor fat loss, or fat gain.

Being fat is contributing to your love handles.

I used to wear a power lifting belt for years and stored fat all around my belly. Course that is where I stored it before ever wearing a belt too.

I think it is pants in general, not just belts. It is best to train naked.

I think not putting down the fork could be part of the love handles issue

There's no actual science behind any of this nonsense. BIOSCIENCE

Iv heard some rediculously retarded questions asked in my life and that one is right up near the top. You've got to be joking right?
