    Should you wear your belt in between sets or take it off while you rest?

    I keep mine on, but wear it very loosely while I rest, tightening just before I start my next set.

    I never take my belt off. I will just loosen it if I'm wearing a standard buckle belt. If I wearing a lever type than its pretty simply to disengage it. But I never take the belt completely off.

    I was using a lever belt for a while- that was easy enough to loosen between sets.

    Now I've got a buckle belt... just leave it on & tight until I'm done.

    Mine is too tight to wear in between sets.

    I take mine off and hang it on the rack between sets. Why would I want to wear that around for extra time?

    If you have to ask then your belt is not tight enough...
