eli5: How does a weightlifting belt prevent injuries?
In: 462
Greg Nuckols explains it very well [here](https://www.strongerbyscience.com/the-belt-bible/). It shouldn’t be considered a piece of safety equipment or used specifically to prevent injury or to work around an existing injury. They are very useful though and most people would benefit from learning to brace properly with and without a belt.
