Leather Weight Lifting Gym Support Belt - Powerlifting Training Lumbar Back

1. Size Selection: Choose the correct size of the belt based on your waist measurement. It should fit snugly but not too tight.
2. Positioning: Put on the belt with the wider back part centered on your lower back and the narrower part towards your abdomen.
3. Tightening: Fasten the belt by pulling the strap through the buckle. Ensure it's snug but not constricting your breathing or movement.
4. Placement: Position the belt above your hip bones and below your ribcage, covering your lower back muscles.
5. Adjustment: Before performing your powerlifting exercises, adjust the belt's tightness to your comfort level, providing ample support without compromising mobility.
6. Breathing: Take a deep breath before engaging in a lift. Hold that breath and push your abdominal muscles against the belt, increasing intra-abdominal pressure and stabilising your spine.
7. Lift Execution: Perform your lifts while maintaining proper form and technique. The belt should aid in stabilising your core and lower back muscles.
8. Rest Intervals: Remove the belt during rest intervals to allow your muscles to recover and prevent excessive reliance on the belt's support.
9. Posture: Maintain good posture throughout your workout to prevent over-reliance on the belt and promote natural core engagement.
10. Care: After your session, wipe down the belt and store it in a cool, dry place. Regularly inspect it for signs of wear and tear.

Remember, a weight belt is a tool to enhance your performance and protect your back, but it's essential to prioritise proper technique, strengthening your core, and gradually increasing weights.
