What is the purpose of a leather weight training belt?
This leather weight training belt provides extra support by increasing abdominal pressure when lifting heavy weights (more than 80% of your one rep max). This pressure acts as a protective brace, ensuring good spinal support in the correct position.
By using the belt as a support point, your abdominal and lumbar muscles stay engaged throughout the movement, reducing your risk of lower back injuries.
What exercises is this leather weight training belt best suited for?
With this weight training belt, you can do exercises such as:
- squats: front squat, overhead squat, back squat
- deadlift: classic and/or sumo
- rowing
- military press
- shoulder / lifts
- snatch
- and all movements where you might want better back support.
Positioning the weight training belt
Your belt should be tight enough to support you and act as a brace. It's important to find a good balance so that you can train safely. First, attach it above your hips, tightening it moderately.
You can then choose the tightest fitting notch that allows you to breathe normally.
For even more support, you can suck in your stomach a bit while strapping it on for a tighter fit.
Be careful not to wear it too often
Don't forget to loosen the belt after each set of exercises, and don't wear it continuously, as it can increase your blood pressure.
Use it for exercises requiring heavy weights.
Put it on after warming up, when you are starting to lift more substantial weights.
Accessories to maximize your performance
Our lifting straps (ref. 8642608) give you a better grip and help you focus on your form.
Our knee sleeves (ref. 8548500) are also a good option if you want to feel good while lifting heavier weights. They keep your joints warm, which keeps them safer in the long run.
Why choose a weight training belt with a tapered cut?
It has a tapered cut, which means it is wider at the back and has a more fitted cut at the abdomen. This design ensures complete freedom of movement for the torso and doesn't restrict your upper body during workouts. This makes it more comfortable to wear during training.
This belt guarantees adapted support. Wider at the back and easily adjustable, you can adjust the fit to your needs. And its leather material is very durable!
