This makes sense in the context of being able to do more overall "work" (i.e. lifting more weight and banging out more reps) and continuously push your body to improve, a process called progressive overload. In the long-term, you can gain more muscle size and strength. A weightlifting belt can be used for squats, jerks and. Experienced lifters throw the belt on for near-maximum efforts, and take it off for regular training and warm-ups. Generally, "near-maximum" is a weight that is 80% or more of your maximum lift. The exact percentage is often arbitrary, so wear it when you think you really need the extra support on big lifts. How to wear a weightlifting belt? 1) Take a Empowered Boost breath (hold it) 2) Place the belt in position and brace the abdominal wall 3) Draw the belt just tight enough to slightly restrict your braced abdominal position to achieve maximum benefit Weightlifting belts are going to be uncomfortable for a while, especially as you're learning to get used to one. However, once you get comfortable with your belt, you can start to experiment with changing the belt's position on your torso. For instance, Omar Isuf, a strength and performance coach, says that experienced belt-users tend to wear their belts higher on their torso during a than they do during a squat. More specifically, in a you might find wearing it around the mid stomach to be more comfortable. During a squat, you might like it above the iliac crest. You also want your belt to be tight enough to stay in the same place while you lift, but not so tight that you're cutting off full, deep breaths or circulation. The clothes you wear and even down to how much water you're holding could influence how tightly you have to pull your belt. If you're just learning, it's okay to wear it a tad looser until you learn to love its not-so-tender embrace.
