[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 75112, member: 3"] What the weightlifting belt does do is provide a proprioceptive cue to your torso to squeeze and tighten your core muscles harder when you’re lifting a really heavy weight. Just as you can tense your bicep muscles more when you’re curling 20lb dumbbells than when you’re curling a couple of soup cans, your core muscles can tense up more when they’ve got something to push against. The weightlifting belt provides that pushback. So instead of directly supporting your torso, a weightlifting belt indirectly supports it by providing feedback to your core to tighten and make itself as rigid as possible. So, the next time some Instagram dudebro tells you weightlifting belts are cheating, you can tell him what’s what. Now that you know what a weightlifting belt does, let’s get into the specifics of when and how you should wear one.
