eli5: How does a weightlifting belt prevent injuries?
In: 462
Let me just throw this out there for anyone who isn’t fully aware:
A WEIGHTLIFTING BELT DOESNT PREVENT INJURY.
What it does it provide stability to your core which allows you to you squat, clean, snatch and/or deadlift more weight. The less energy your body needs to use stabilising through the lower back, the more energy it has to keep your shoulders tight/ extend your quads/ retract your scapula/etc. It makes you stronger. It’s not a tool to prevent injury. It’s not a substitute for good form. That’s not the function of a belt.
