What is the purpose of a leather bodybuilding belt?
This leather bodybuilding belt provides extra support by increasing abdominal pressure when lifting heavy loads (beyond 80% of your maximum repetition). This pressure acts like a protective "corset", keeping the spine in the correct position.
By using the belt as a fulcrum, your abdominal and lumbar muscles remain engaged throughout the effort, reducing the risk of frequent lower back injuries.
For which exercises is this leather bodybuilding belt best suited?
With this body-building belt, you can perform exercises such as:
- squats: front squat, overhead squat, back squat
- deadlift: classic and/or sumo
- rowing
- military bench press
- clean / jerk
- snatch
As well as all movements for which you want better back support.
How to position your bodybuilding belt correctly?
Your belt should be tight enough to hold you in place and do its job as a "girdle". It's important to find the right balance so that you can practice safely.
First, fasten it over your hips, tightening it moderately. Then choose the tightest notch that allows you to breathe normally. For a better fit, pull your stomach in slightly to move up to the next notch.
Be careful not to wear it too often
Remember to loosen the belt after each set of exercises and avoid wearing it continuously, as it can increase your blood pressure.
Use it especially for exercises requiring heavy loads.
Put it on after your warm-ups, when you start lifting heavier weights.
What accessories should you use to maximize your performance?
Our tightening straps (ref. 8642608) will give you a better grip, so you can concentrate on getting the movement right.
Our knee pads (ref. 8548500) are also a great way to feel comfortable when lifting heavier loads. They provide a source of warmth for your joints, helping to preserve them over time.
Why choose a bodybuilding belt with a tapered cut?
A tapered cut is distinguished by a wider back and a tighter waistband around the abdomen. This design allows greater freedom of movement for the torso, without impeding upper-body movements during your workouts. This makes the accessory more comfortable to wear during your workouts.
