We’re sure you’ve seen CrossFit athletes and powerlifters wearing weight lifting belts at the gym. Weight lifting belts are thick bands that go around your waist to stabilize your lower back and abs while lifting heavy weights. They’re ideal for squats and deadlifts and if you’re interested in trying one out, here are our recommendations.

Dark Iron Fitness Weightlifting Belt

This belt is made of leather and it’s super durable. If for any reason it gets damaged, the company will send you a new one at no cost. When ordering it, use your natural waist circumference to get the correct size.

Harbinger Women’s Nylon Weight Lifting Belt

For something more lightweight and affordable, try the Harbinger women’s belt. This belt is available in three sizes and it’s adjustable because of the Velcro, which makes it easier to get the perfect fit. Due to the foam center, it’s more breathable and allows more flexibility when lifting.

Element 26 Weight Lifting Belt

Element 26’s belt is designed with CrossFit athletes in mind and there’s a built-in self-locking technology to make sure the belt stays in place no matter how intense your lifting gets.

In the past, weightlifting belts used to be limited to Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting, but recently, recreational athletes have been wearing these belts. While at the gym, you’ll see tons of heavy lifters wearing these belts, but are they really necessary for recreational lifting and when should you use them?

Benefits of a Weight Belt

Weightlifting belts have two purposes—they reduce stress on the lower back while the person is doing overhead lifts, preventing hypertension, and they cause the lifter to be more aware of the position of their back, which can help the lifter maintain good posture.

How to Wear a Weight Belt

To maximize its usefulness, a belt should be worn tightly and it shouldn’t be worn for a prolonged period of time. They should only be worn when doing maximal or submaximal lifts like squats or deadlifts, where the weight is being supported by the lifter’s back, and for exercises where the back is hyperextended like a military press.

When You Don’t Need a Weight Belt

For lighter weights and exercises where the back isn’t supporting weight like lateral pull-downs and leg extensions, there’s no point in wearing a belt. In fact, constantly wearing a belt can decrease abdominal strength because you don’t use your core as much to stabilize when you’re wearing a weight belt.
