Dynamik Performance

There are 2 main reasons why someone would use the weightlifting belt,
1. Reduces stress on lower back when lifting in an upright position
2. Prevents back hyperextension during overhead lifts
•
The belt increases intra abdominal pressure which is the pressure within your abdomen, just like a balloon inflating inside your abs. As a result abdomen pushes onto the spine to support it internally while your core muscles and lower back push on the spine from the outside.
•
However there are potential downfalls...

1. Negative effect on motor learning especially for novice lifters
2. Masks potential injuries
3. Weakens lower back
