FAQ

What Does A Lifting Belt Do?

A lifting belt supports your lower back and core during heavy lifts, helping to stabilize your spine and improve lifting form.

What Are The Benefits Of Lifting Belts?

  • Increased Stability: Provides core and back support during heavy lifts.
  • Enhanced Performance: Allows you to lift heavier with better form.
  • Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of lower back injuries by stabilizing the spine.

When Should I Get A Lifting Belt?

This will depend on your goals and fitness level, but a good way to determine when to start using a weightlifting belt is when you can’t do more than 1-5 reps with good form. 

What’s The Difference Between A Prong Belt and a Lever Belt?

A prong belt uses a traditional buckle to secure it, allowing for easier micro-adjustments. A lever belt features a lever mechanism for quick tightening and loosening, offering a consistent fit.

How Tight Should A Lifting Belt Be?

A weightlifting belt should be tight enough to support your core and back but not so tight that it restricts breathing or movement.

How To Put On A Lifting Belt

  1. Place the belt around your waist, just above your hips.
  2. Pull the belt tight, but not too tight, to allow for core bracing. 
  3. Fasten the buckle to your preferred setting, ensuring the belt stays in place during lifts.
