  1. Weight Lifting Belt - the Absolute Protection You Need When Lifting Heavy Weights

  2. Weight lifting belts have been one of the most controversial gym gears for a long time now. Some people have a misconception that these belts can help them lift heavier weights, whereas others consider wearing a belt as cheating and believe it to be an insult for all the lifters.

  3. Let me settle this debate for you once and for all. Weight lifting belts are used to reduce stress and provide support to your lower back and core muscle while lifting. Wearing these belts does not mean that they'll help you lift heavier weights, but they will protect your spine from getting seriously injured.

  4. Weight lifting belts are worn around your trunk while you're slightly holding your breath. Once you've tightened the buckle, breathe and expand into the belt. This will help you tighten the torso properly and stabilize your back to lift weights without getting injured. 

  5. Benefits of Weight Lifting Belts 1. Improves Spinal Stability When lifting heavy weights, the lifter needs to ensure a tight core. Weight lifting belts press on the core, indicating the muscles to harden. When the torso tightens, the spine stabilizes, and the intra-abdominal pressure rises, helping you to lift heavy weights easily.  

  6. 2. Promotes Muscle Growth Wearing a belt helps you support your spine and perform your lifting exercises with your legs and not your back. It helps activate and work up hamstrings and quadriceps muscles in your lower body, leading to better muscle growth and benefitting the lifter in the long run.

  7. 3. Prevents Injuries When you're lifting heavy weights while exercising deadlifts and bench press etc., there are high chances of damaging your spine. Wearing a weight lifting belt ensures that you stand up with a straight posture and provide your spine with the support it requires, so you don't end up getting injured.

  8. 4. More Reps According to the research, it was found that people who wear weight-lifting belts feel more comfortable and protected when exercising. This easiness during lifting leads to improved performance and better results.

  9. Weight lifting belts are the perfect and the simplest tools that can help you build up the intra-abdominal pressure and stabilize your torso so you can lift heavy weights without injuring your spine. These belts come in various shapes and sizes, so you can choose the one that fits your criteria perfectly and helps you brace your core to exert all your force when lifting heavyweights.
