I try to not wear a belt as much as possible. Sometimes if I feel like I'm starting to round I'll put it on for added security.
What is a trap bar?

I thought I should update...
I got sucker punched in a bar and thrown into some tables/kicked while I was down...generally just got roughed up.
I'm alright but I have a bruised rib or two in my back, my one ear is pretty black and messed up, general soreness, and somehow pulled my groin.
All because... get this... the girl I was dancing with bumped into him. So he thought it would be cool to punch me in the side of the head and throw her to the ground? WTF!? I didn't even see it coming and could not defend myself.
So... I guess I'll be taking it easy for a bit. I'm really upset about this taking me out of the gym. Ugh.

This is a trap bar you dont have to lean forward as much as you dont need to get the bar around your knees which in turn is better for your lower back.

Well the link didn't work but I understand the concept. My gym definately does not have one of those. It pretty much just has the bare essentials. lol

Update:
I had my mother give me a brief assessment (she is a physiotherapist) and she thinks I have either a torn lower trap or lower rhomboid... or both. Great... I was sure it was bruised because it hurts to breath in deep. What a pickle I'm in.
