Lmao no shit?
I read what this dude wrote and it just seemed off. Wanted to bounce it off everyone here
I read an article about women and corsets for weight loss. And they found a direct correlation between corset use and weight loss. And the duh revelation of the article was that women who wore corsets all the time never over ate because it made the corset unconfortable.
Do stomach vacuums half the day that will help!
its also hard on your organs, being compressed
Right. I cant imagine that it's good for general health. I'm sure it impedes blood flow and lymphatic movement, and probably nerve transmission.

That sounds like nonsense. If anything, I would imagine it would make your mid section flabbier in the long run. We generally have a tendency to keep our torso tight and slapping a restraining piece of leather on some excess flab certainly won't make the fat dissolve. I can only see something like this working if you take it to the extreme where you start warping your bones and soft tissue, which I'm sure is not a healthy way to go or practical for everyday folks.

Just his weird superstition. Probably started wearing the belt when he decided to seriously cut to a low bf, and when he was done cutting he had a small waist. Had to be the belt...

So, don't wear a jock strap, compression shorts, compresssion shirts, or a condom.

It's common in the bikini division. And it does work. A lot of the girls wear a squeem 8+ hours a day. And if worn properly it pushes the fat from your midsection down giving you a tiny waist. When you wear one that fits right it doesn't compress your organs. Just cinches your waist. Lacey Deluca is a good example of this. Look at the pics from her first shows compared to her more recent shows.

This is one of the most absurd things that I have heard.
It remind me of Christy Brinkley's exercise program that showed how much better she looked after than before on NBC in a Dateline interview with Josh Mankiewicz.
As Mankiewicz noted, "There's NO difference."
It was a figment of Brinkley's imagination.
However, it it makes you feel better to wear it becasue you believe that it "push fat down from waist to you ass and gives you a nice bubble butt like Eva Mendez or Kim Kardasian"...You go girl!

Just gonna say how could 8 hrs a day be safe...... There is no right or wrong wearing it, it pushes your organs up into your rib cage and can kill you. I would never wear it, there are other options out there.... To me it's a lazy way to look skinny..

I hate this thread...it is a fat dude that wont workout or diet trying to find a way besides work that will shrink his gut...I hate my fat too...but it lives on me till I get on the treadmill....there just aint no other way
Why not? It adds stability to the core just like a weight lifting belt does, leading to a decrease in the recruitment of core musculature through a decrease in demand=less core activation.
What??? Does he wear one all day or does he use it only for performing heavy lifts?

Interesting. I can't see how it would be benificial. Maybe I'll dig up those studies.

Weight Belt Adominal Activation
A weight belt is used to stabilize the lower back. To do that, that abdominals are pushed into the front of the belt.
Pushing the abdominal into the belt provides intra-abdominal pressure, IAP. This pressure stabilizes the spine.
Isometric Abdominal Action
Pushing into the belt with the abdominals is an isomtric action. The abdominals need to be driven hard into the belt.
Thus, the abdominals are worked with a belt but differently.

"Compared with the no-belt condition, the belt condition produced significantly greater rectus abdominis activity and significantly less external oblique activity."
Kenny Croxdale
The rectus abdominis, probably contrary to popular belief, is not a vital core muscle as far as stabiliy is concerned. Actually, the external obliques are more important, as are the multifidi and diaphragm. It is these muscles which, when weak, put one at a greater risk for injury. In fact, a mulititude of studies show a strong correlation between low back pain patients and the weak afforementioned musculature. The rectus abdominis may be the "prettiest" muscle of the midsection, but speaking from a functional standpoint, it is nowhere near as important as many of the others.
