What is the point of a Lifting Belt?
Intra-abdominal pressure is what it comes down to. Intra-abdominal pressure just means pressure or tension in your abdomen (also known as your core or midsection).

Knowing how to create intra-abdominal pressure on command is important for anyone who wants to pick up a barbell and lift because it’s a crucial element to lifting heavy plates without aggravating your back.

The proper use of intra-abdominal pressure won’t just spare your lower back, it’ll actually make it stronger and tougher. Whether you’re a serious lifter who lives and breathes strength training, or just someone who wants to look great with their shirt off, learning how to create intra-abdominal pressure is important for a successful and pain-free lifting career.

Why choose a quick locking belt?
A quick-locking weightlifting belt offers a consistent width (4-inches) all the way around, which creates even coverage for an effective lift every single time.
The best part about this belt type is that its quick-locking buckle is easy to use and will release as soon as you pull on excess velcro material and roller. Don't worry, it's very sturdy throughout your workout and won’t come undone during lifting.

Should I choose a leather belt?
If neither option from above is not your style and you're looking for firm support, then invest in a good-quality leather lifting belt is hugely important. A good quality leather belt features double stitching and a strong buckle for use in weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and more. The main reason to invest in a leather belt is that allows you to lift heavier and your back will always feel better with a leather belt.
