Why do I need a belt? A rigid back is critical for preventing injury when performing heavy, compound lifts such as the squat, press, and deadlift. During a lift, the spine is held rigidly in extension by tightening the core muscles to prevent movement. As loads increase, it is more difficult to maintain enough tension to keep the spine in position. A proper weightlifting belt helps provide greater tension by preventing the core muscles from expanding outward when they are contracted so that heavier loads can be lifted safely. The belt must be rigid and not stretch to be effective which is why fabric belts and belts with padding do not work well. How do I use my belt? A weightlifting belt is worn across the belly above the hips and below the ribcage. It should be tightened until slightly uncomfortable, but not so tight that you cannot take a full breath. During the lift, tighten your core muscles as normal, but do not try to "push" against the belt. If the belt moves during the lift, it is either too loose or in the wrong place. How is this belt different? Your Dominion Strength Training belt is made from the best quality top grain cow leather. it will last a lifetime even with frequent, heavy use. Most other belts are made from split leather, which can stretch and wears out quickly. Some belts actually contain fillers of plastic or foam to add thickness. A low quality belt may seem ok at first, but will begin to wear out quickly and soon need replacing. Most similar, quality belts are only made to order (which can take 6-12 weeks) and are very expensive.
