Many gym goers may wonder whether it’s worthwhile using a weightlifting belt or not, in terms of weightlifting belt benefits unless you are a professional power lifter you won’t find any benefit. If you’re thinking of using a weightlifting belt for bench press, a weightlifting belt for crossfit or lifting belts-pros and cons, this is something we cover in our video. Lifting belt benefits are very few, and in terms of weight belt placement this can even cause further damage in your spine and be a fast way to herniate a disc.

What are the benefits of weightlifting belts? There’s two. Number one, if you’re an elite level power lifter it might help you get those extra ways to win, win that medal. The second benefit is a really good way to get a herniated disc faster, especially in the bottom joint in your lower back, and I’ll explain in this video why and why they are the most preposterous thing. I see guys in the gym, using them to do bench press, and it is ridiculous.

Okay, and i’ll explain why. Number one, when you use a weightlifting belt most of the time it sits above the iliac crest, which means it’s supporting here. The weightlifting belt – the theory behind it fundamentally is it provides a substantial amount of compression, which means that the lumbar spine is held nice and stable, which is great for these joints. But what you’ll notice is it misses the lumbar sacral junction, because the lumbar sacral junction is below the iliac crest. So you support these ones here really, really nicely, so they don’t move. And if you understand the structure of his spine, all of these joints are supposed to move in uniform so that no one gets stressed or strained more than any others. The problem we have with that scenario, is that you’ve just blocked the upper lumbar spine. And what’s one of the most common discs to become injured or herniated? L5-S1 followed closely by the L4-L5, very, very common. And if you’re going and putting these belts on, and then going to do and a heavy squat, you know, just as you get to the bottom of the squat, you bum tucks under when you’re just getting that extra range of motion. And all of that movement is going to go through the L-S because you’ve blocked this section here. And what that does is squash this disc at the very bottom here really really nicely.

So by this time in the video, you’re probably understanding that we’re not that for using these weightlifting belts, okay. It’s fundamentally negatively impacting the way in which you’re using your lumbar spine. It bears no coherence with the reason one would train, you’re training to strengthen your muscles – why are you using a brace that’s actually stopping some of the muscles working. And also most of the guys that are using it and wearing it around the gym, not even for leg work. Now. Really, really, really you should ditch the brace, ditch the weightlifting belt, and move back, drop your weights back down a little bit and just reintegrate full body movement, doing the squats, deadlifts whatever other exercises you’re doing and actually allow your core to get involved in that movement. Again, it’s going to be much, much safer for the lower part of your lumbar spine, you’re going to have less disc and then that means you’re going to be less likely to come and see someone like us to try and help you deal with your herniated disc. It’s very, very important. These straps are bracing the upper section of your lumbar spine and leaving the bottom part to move freely and be overly exposed to that excessive compression or flection. As you go through the end ranges of these these activities such as the squat and deadlift, leave them out they’re not helpful.
