Weight Lifting Belts

A weightlifting belt has two main purposes. It reduces stress on the lower back while the person is lifting in an upright position and prevents back hyperextension during overhead lifts. A belt reduces low back stress by compressing the contents of the abdominal cavity. Weight Lifting Belts are belts used to support the back while lifting heavy weight during exercise. Weight lifting belts are usually made of leather or nylon and are adjustable to fit the user. At The Fitness Supercenter we offer a variety of weight lifting belts for the novice to the advanced lifter.
