What is a lifting belt?
A lifting belt gives you a good and stable support around the torso when you train. It is popular with weightlifters, strongmen and experienced athletes, as it provides maximum support to the areas that need it most.
When to use a lifting belt?
A lifting belt gives you great benefits in many exercises, e.g. in most heavy leg exercises, in deadlifts and lots of other exercises, because a belt creates a pressure against the torso, which in turn gives you stability and strength.
When using your belt during your heavy workouts, it is a good idea to use it early, already during the warm-up.
How to use a lifting belt?
The placement of a lifting belt is individual, but generally it should sit around the lumbar spine, with the buckle over the lower abdominal muscles. Avoid placing your belt around your hips when exercising e.g. squats or deadlifts.
It may take some time to get used to using your lifting belt. You can e.g. having to carry it in a different position on your stomach for squats versus when doing deadlifts. It's about what you prefer and where you feel the need for the most support. The lifting belts have several different holes so that you can easily adjust the size. When you warm up and increase with heavier weights, it is common to tighten your belt, so it is even tighter.
Use the correct breathing technique, Valsalva maneuver, when performing your exercises. When you use the right breathing technique, it also helps to show which hole the buckle on your belt should be in. The right breathing technique can be compared to a balloon. When you inflate a balloon, there is pressure inside the balloon. If you fill it with too much air, you create too much pressure and the balloon bursts. Imagine putting a belt around a balloon and inflating it. The balloon will then be inflated by less air, as the air has something firm to press against. Simple, there's more pressure. This is about how a lifting belt works, as it creates more pressure because the air has something to push against.
How should a lifting belt fit?
When you first get your lifting belt, test it at home and feel for which position around the stomach it should sit and how hard you want it to sit. You can change the fit of your belt gradually and based on which exercise you perform.
A tighter seat belt does not necessarily give better results. You should still be able to use proper breathing techniques during your exercises.
What you wear for clothes and how thick these are also matters as to which hole your belt should fit in. Do you have e.g. a thick hoodie on you one day, you will probably use a different hole than if you had a thin t-shirt on, this because your total circumference around the waist will be different.
What are the benefits of a lifting belt?
The benefits of a lifting belt are based on your personal preferences. The big advantage of a belt in your heaviest exercises is that it creates a pressure, which in turn means that you will be able to lift heavier weights.
