Tom is correct. THe briefs will not add that much to your workout weights or alter your form. They will keep you tight and injury free though

: hey Mike and everyone, ive been lifting for
: 2
: years been training with belt and wraps
: only, but have ordered briefs to wear. I
: train alone at 6.30am on the squat in a
: squat rack for safety but do you think
: squatting alone in briefs (with the added
: extra weight) is ok? or would I need a
: competent spotter. I would say Im fairly
: safe with squatting and form is good.
