A Guide To Weight Lifting Belts

If you work out at a gym, chances are you’ve seen people walking around wearing an oversized belt. What are these gadgets, and why do people use them? What you’re seeing is called a weight lifting belt. Belts like these are strength training accessories that help ensure proper form while lifting heavy weights. They support your back and help your body use the correct muscle groups when performing exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and shoulder presses. This belt ensures that the pressure from the weights is centered around your abdomen instead of your vertebrae. That’s a good thing. With a weight belt, you can significantly improve the quality and efficiency of your routine. We offer two styles of weight lifting belts to help increase torso stability and improve your training performance.

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about weight lifting belts and information to help you choose the best weight lifting belt to buy online.

What is a weight lifting belt?

Weight lifting belts support your midsection during squats and deadlifts. A weight lifting belt gives the body an external surface to press against, creating a stronger brace around the abs allowing for better performance. Hence, you can improve your form.

Why do people wear weight lifting belts?

The best weight lifting belts for sale are designed to redistribute pressure on your back and improves form. Here’s how this works: First, as the belt compresses the abdomen, it creates intra-abdominal pressure, providing support around the lower back vertebrae. That way, the spinal erector muscles don’t have to exert as much force while lifting. Second, home weight lifting belts help your abs and core absorb the pressure, making you less likely to hyperextend your joints when doing overhead lifts. Hyperextension happens when a joint moves at too great an angle away from its normal position. Make sure to consult a doctor and professional trainer if you have any injuries or experience any pain before lifting.

What are the different types of weight lifting belts?

There are four popular types of weight lifting belts: Single-prong weight lifting belts: Our Titan Maxxum Lifting Belt and Powerlifting Lever Belt are single-prong belts suited for the average person who wants to lift their max weights and reduce the strain on their body. Double-prong weight lifting belts: This type is suitable for advanced strength athletes lifting more than their weight or planning to perform more than four reps. Lever lifting belts: Lever belts are perfect for powerlifting, i.e., lifting your heaviest lifts in training and competition.

What's the right way to wear Titan Fitness weight lifting belts?

A weight lifting belt should be worn around your core, just above your belly button. Location is important because the central pressure of the belt needs to rest over the center of your ab muscles. Wearing the belt at the hips won’t offer any benefit. To use, fasten the belt until it is firm around your waist but not so tight that it affects your breathing. Inhale deeply and hold your breath as you begin your repetition. Then, exhale as you lift to brace your abs against the belt.

How do I know when to start wearing a weight lifting belt?

Learning how to lift weights before wearing a belt is essential.

Barbell lifts, including squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, and certain Olympic lifts, are the main exercises where a belt is helpful.
