why you should invest in a lifting belt! 😎🏋🏻‍♀️

✨lift heavier due to stronger core!

✨protect your lower back by reducing stress on it

✨prevent hyperextension during overhead lifts

✨teaches beginners how to engage their core while lifting

✨easier to progressive overload with a belt!

common kinds of lifting belts:

❣️buckle lifting belts (like the one i am using!)

- more for powerlifting!

- made out of leather (usually) designed to provide maximum compression and support

- easy to put on and take off because it is just a lever!

- downsides is you need a screw driver to adjust the waist size!

❣️prong lifting belts

- in between of the lever and velcro, just like the buckle belts, it also provides great compression and support

- it is easier to adjust because you can just choose which hole to use

- however, it might be harder to put on than lever belts!

❣️velcro lifting belts

- more for beginners (PERSONALLY) because it is easier to use

- might not provide as much stability as the leather belts

- easy to adjust

how to use it?

🤍 make sure the belt is TIGHT — meaning no gaps in the waist

🤍 breathe through your mouth and hold your breath, your stomach should expand and push against the belt before lifting
