Strength Training Belt for Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Gym Workouts - Men and Women

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 becomes increasingly difficult to maintain enough tension to keep the back in position. This is where a weight lifting belt can be beneficial.

A proper weight lifting belt allows greater tension by preventing the core muscles from expanding outward when they are contracted for the lift. This enables lifters to safely handle heavier loads. However, the weight belt must not stretch to be effective. This is why fabric belts and belts with padding often do not work well.

The weight lifting belt should be worn across the belly, above the hips and below the ribcage. It should be tightened until slightly uncomfortable. During the lift, the lifter should tighten their core muscles as normal, but should not try to "push" against the belt. If the belt moves during the lift, it is either too loose or in the wrong place.

Dominion Strength Training offers a high-quality weight lifting belt made from top-grain sole bend cow leather. This belt is designed to last a lifetime, even with frequent, heavy use. In contrast, lower-quality belts are typically made from split leather, which can stretch and is much less durable. These belts may initially seem fine but will begin to stretch with the first lift and quickly need replacing.

The 3-inch size of the Dominion Strength Training belt is great for both men and women because it provides excellent support without being too stiff or bulky. Additionally, the belt is fully adjustable, with 11 holes spaced 1 inch apart, providing 10 inches of adjustability. This ensures a perfect fit, even if the lifter's waist size changes.

Dominion Strength Training offers a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee on their belts. If a lifter manages to damage their belt for any reason, they can contact the company for a hassle-free replacement, no questions asked. The belt is designed to the standards of the Starting Strength program, with years of weight training experience influencing every aspect of the design. Each belt is made by hand in the USA, ensuring the highest quality.

In conclusion, a weight lifting belt can be a valuable tool for preventing injury and enabling heavier lifts. The Dominion Strength Training belt, with its superior design and construction, is an excellent choice for serious weightlifters and powerlifters.
