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.
