Choose The Right Weight Lifting Belts For You

Weight lifters have variety of views about the benefits of weight lifting belt. Some weight lifting trainers think the belt can reduce the strength of the lower back muscles and affect the core strength in general. Some hold the view that it supports your torso. All these views are not authentic and haven’t been witnessed to hold up. Quite contrary, there are number of advantages of wearing a belt. When you are weight lifting with a belt, it increases pressure inside and outside of your spine. It stabilizes your spine and reduces stress on it. Belts help in better performance. With all these benefits, you need to buy a Weight Lifting Belt. Here is a list of few things you have to consider before buying a belt.

1) Material:-

Manufacturers are making these belts either using nylon or leather. Leather belts are recommended for dead lifting and squats. But, leather belts are rough on skin. Nylon belts are suitable for complex movements and power lifters prefer to use them. They don’t harm your skin. However, nylon belts are not as secure as the leather belts are.

2) Locking Mechanism:-

There are two options available in market: hook and pin, and quick release lock. With the hook and pin system, you can tighten your belt as you possibly can. However, if the pin does not fit around your waste, it’s neither comfortable nor will let you focus. The quick release lock overcomes this problem.

3) Width:-

The final factor in choosing the right weight lifting belt is the width. An ideal Width is 2 to 6 inches. The choice varies as per your size and your personal needs. A six inch belt is not beneficial for a shorter person. However, some taller weight lifters prefer to wear two inch belt.

You cannot ignore benefits of a belt for your weight lifting workouts. So always try your workouts while you are wearing a belt.

Features In Weight Lifting Gloves

Some weight lifters think that weight lifting gloves hinder the handgrip. Contrary to this view, the researchers have shown that weight lifting gloves are beneficial in training. They improve your grip and act as a barrier between your skin and rough handles thus prevent formation of calluses and blisters. Wrist strap supports tendons and ligaments of your wrists. Weight lifting gloves relieve your hands from pressure. They help you in improving your overall performance. Keeping in view all these benefits, you should wear weight lifting gloves during your training. Even cheap weight lifting gloves will serve the purpose. However, you need to consider a few factors while purchasing a pair.

Durability:

Weight lifting gloves are used regularly that’s why they are made with durable material like nylon, leather and neoprene. Nylon is not as durable as leather or neoprene. You will need a pair which can withstand your exhausting workout routine without tearing and ripping. Your hands will be sweaty during training so go for a pair which is washable. 

Grip:

Weight lifting gloves are designed to provide you improved grip even when your hands are sweaty. Sweaty bare hands can interfere with grip leading to a dangerous situation. Buy a pair of gloves which come with non-slip material on the palms and fingers.

Cushioning and Support:

Weight lifting gloves provide cushioning and support to your hands by absorbing pressure. Some gloves also have wrist strap, which support your wrist region. Padded gloves have gel cushioning and reinforced stitching. Heavy gloves provide more protection but lack flexibility.

Flexibility and Breath-ability:

Weight lifting gloves provide better support and flexible gloves allow freedom for hand movement. Nylon gloves are the most flexible but are least efficient at protection. Some weight lifting gloves have sport mesh areas for air circulation which make them breathable.

You will find variety of weight lifting gloves in market. Some of them will be really expensive. You can find above features in weight lifting gloves. So buy a pair which will protect and support your hands in daily training.
