Hot Selling 4” Gym Belt Fitness Accessories Auto Lock Neoprene Lifting Blet for Power Workout

The choice of belt for lifting weights is important and plays an important role in training effectiveness and body protection.

First, it is used for overloaded structural exercises. Structural movements refer to actions in which the spine is directly stressed and subjected to obvious pressure or shear forces, such as squats, deadlifts, sprints, etc.

In addition, heavy loads often mean more than 80% or 85% of 1RM loads requiring particularly stable and firm trunk spine and harness care. It can be seen that there is no belt from the beginning to the end of the training. For single-joint, small muscle groups, or weightless movements of the spine (e.g., bending, pull-downs, tricep compressions), a belt is not required.    Second, the width of the belt is not as wide as possible. The width of the waist is too wide (more than 15cm), which will limit the movement of the torso and have a negative impact on normal physiological curvature, as long as the width can protect the key parts of the lower back. Some belts on the market have a cushion in the middle to strengthen the support for the waist. In this way, a moderate width (12-15cm) and a moderate cushion can effectively protect the lower back.
