Lifting belt

[harambe1]

What is the best use for waist belt I see people wearing in the gym ? Is it for back support? I wonder if it helps when lifting.

The belt keeps the intra-abdominal pressure, so we can lift more weight.

The belt provides support, but it does not prevent injury. If your technique is bad, with or without a belt, you run the risk of getting hurt.

at the end of the day belts do more harm than good.

they actually create more imbalances. years ago on this very forum i would argue with people about this topic but now people mostly agree with me.

wearing belts, gloves, straps, wraps will all create imbalances. i wouldn't be caught dead using any of that shit. lift raw and lift with correct form
