Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I wear a powerlifting belt?
Reasons to consider using a belt during training:
1. Improved performance: A belt can help improve your performance in the squat, bench press, and deadlift by providing additional support to your lower back and abdominal muscles. This can allow you to lift heavier weights, which can lead to increased muscle growth and strength.
2. Increased stability: Belts can help stabilise your spine and pelvis during heavy lifts, reducing the risk of injury. This is especially important for powerlifting, as the weights being lifted are typically much heavier than those used in other types of weightlifting.
3. Better posture: This can help improve your posture by encouraging you to maintain a neutral spine position. This can help prevent back pain and improve your overall lifting technique.
4. Enhanced power output: A belt can help you generate more power during your lifts by providing support to your core muscles. This can help you lift heavier weights and improve your overall strength.
5. Enhanced mental focus: Using a lifting belt can help you stay focused during your lifts, as you'll be more aware of your form and technique. This can help you stay in control of your weight and reduce the risk of injury.
What size belt do I need? How do I measure myself?
When it comes to choosing the right size for your belt, it's important to get accurate measurements. Follow these easy steps:
Measure Your Current Belt: Take the circumference of your existing belt while it's on the tightest setting. Make sure to measure the entire length around. Choose a belt size where this measurement falls in the middle of the given range.
No Belt? No Problem: If you don't have a belt to measure, determine your waist size where the belt will be worn (above the navel), while bracing. Avoid using your trouser waist measurement, as it may differ.
Aim for the Middle: It's generally best to select a belt size where you fall in the middle of the provided sizing guide. This ensures a comfortable fit.
