Weightlifting Belts…Should You Wear One?? (BEN POLLACK) | MIND PUMP
Weightlifting Belt
For Powerlifters
For the squat and deadlift: How Important Is Bracing??
How important is bracing and using your core effectively in the squat and deadlift?
Pull your shoulders over your hips
Do A LOT of Upper Ab Work
Bear down and contract upper abs
Pull your shoulders over your hips
Pull your hips under your shoulders
If you struggle contacting your lower abs use:
Resisted leg lowers, decline crunches, hanging leg raises…
Once you engage upper and lower abs, now you need to generate intra-abdominal pressure
Take a deep breath into your diaghram
Using a belt may be very very helpful
It can provide a kinestetic cue
If you’re using the belt correctly, you’re using the abs just as hard as you would without the belt
If you use the belt as a crutch, then it will take away from yourself
Lever Belt vs Buckle Belt
Belt placement is crucial
