The practice of bodybuilding requires rigor, perseverance and caution. With this in mind, it is essential to have suitable, quality equipment. Among the essential accessories, the back bodybuilding belt occupies a special place, because it helps support the back and prevent injuries.
Understand the usefulness of our back strength training belt
The back belt , generally called a lumbar belt , is used by both professional and amateur athletes. It offers several advantages:
- Spinal support
- Protection of intervertebral discs
- Reduced risk of back injuries
- Improved posture
- Better performance during lower back exercises
This equipment therefore makes it possible to perform movements with greater safety and greater stability, while limiting bad postures that can cause pain or trauma.
Know how to choose your back strength training belt
In order to fully benefit from the benefits of a back strength training belt, it is important to choose the right model according to your needs and objectives. Here are some criteria to take into account:
The size
A belt that is too big or too small will not properly fulfill its support function. It is therefore essential to measure your waistline in order to select the appropriate size.
The material
Lumbar belts are usually made of leather, neoprene or fabric. Each material offers different characteristics in terms of strength, elasticity and comfort. The choice will depend in particular on the intensity of the training and personal preferences.
The type of closure
There are several types of closures for back weight training belts: Velcro, metal buckle or even lever system. Each has advantages and disadvantages in terms of practicality and tension adjustment.
The width
Belts may have a uniform width or be wider at the back and narrower at the front. The uniform models offer constant support around the waist, while the others allow better mobility. Here again, the choice will depend on the exercises performed and their intensity.
How to wear your belt to support your back when weight training?
To properly put on a bodybuilding lumbar belt , you must tuck your stomach in as much as possible and tighten it well just above the waist to ensure its effectiveness. It is imperative to tighten it to the limit of discomfort. If the belt is not tight, it is practically useless because its function will not be ensured. You have to loosen it between two sets in order to escape this discomfort and better catch your breath.
When to use a back strength training belt?
It is mainly used for all executions that require the back. In particular, during series of squats, military lifts, deadlifts or bent-over rows, among other things to keep the lumbar and back in a good position.
Furthermore, never take back pain as an indication of when to put on a lumbar strength training belt . Having back pain is just a response that your body triggers due to incorrect movements or a weight that proves to be too heavy for you. Moreover, the accessory is there to provide lumbar support in order to reduce the risk of injury.
Mistakes to avoid with a back strength training belt
Despite its many advantages, using a back strength training belt can also have pitfalls. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:
- Wearing the belt constantly: this can harm the development of stabilizing muscles and create dependence
- Tighten the belt too much: excessive tightening can cause breathing difficulties and limit blood circulation
- Neglecting the warm-up: the belt does not eliminate the need to warm up the muscles well before each session, as the risk of injury is always present
- Ignoring the body's signals: if pain persists despite wearing the belt, it is important to find the cause and consult a health professional if necessary
However, it must be said that despite wearing the lumbar back belt around the waist, you must take care to perform your repetitions safely in order to limit potential injuries that can happen at any time. These accessories are unisex and delivery of the lumbar belt is free.
