Why do I need a belt?
Proper back position is critical for preventing injury when weight training, powerlifting, and performing heavy, compound lifts such as the squat, press, and deadlift. During a lift, the spine is held in position by tightening the core muscles to prevent movement. As loads increase, it is increasingly difficult to maintain enough tension to keep the back in position. A proper weight lifting belt allows greater tension by preventing the core muscles from expanding outward when they are contracted for the lift. This allows heavier loads to be lifted safely. The weight belt must not stretch to be effective. This is why fabric belts and belts with padding do not work well.
How do I use my belt?
A weight lifting belt is worn across the belly above the hips and below the ribcage. It should be tightened until slightly uncomfortable. During the lift, tighten your core muscles as normal, but do not try to "push" against the belt. If the belt moves during the lift, it is either too loose or in the wrong place.
How is this belt different from other belts?
Your Dominion Strength Training belt is made from best quality top grain sole bend cow leather. This belt will last a lifetime even with frequent, heavy use. Lower quality belts are typically made from split leather, which can stretch and is much less durable. A low quality belt may initially seem fine but will begin to stretch with the first lift and quickly need replacing. Other high quality belts are typically made to order (taking 6-12 weeks) and are very expensive. The 3 inch 10 mm size is great for both men and women because of the amount of support provided without being too stiff or bulky.
