Not sure why he took it down, I do have it in my history though but I'd prefer to hear from James why he took it off?

you need to use the youtube tags, like so.

Belt doesn't really help in this scenario. The belt is designed to keep your core tight which should prevent you from lifting with a horribly rounded back, but if your form flops the belt won't save you.

Probably, but if your back is massively rounded with a tight core you are still creating stress in the wrong places.
68kg / 90kg+ / 140kg ----- [85kg BW~] ----- 298KG
The bench is DB, as had no spotter and can't remember what my 1RM is. Hopefully got a spotter tomorrow, be nice to see if I can get my BW. I reckon its possible, still got a bit of a dodgy shoulder though.
Also need to get my finger out and do a 1RM on squats.

It doesn't, not at all. A belt can't reduce the stress on your disks if you're bending your back like that.
JaWalks, it might be hard to train properly in an environment where people seem to encourage hitching
rolleyes, but you're potentially putting your ability to walk pain free at risk.

Ouch, I feel the pain watching! How on earth do you not get injured like that?

Get in. New PB this morning on Deadlifts, got three out before I could feel my form slipping so stopped.
Going for PB on bench next week, squats may be a while as I get scared going heavier!
