Is your squat progress stuck? Studies show that using a weightlifting belt can increase power production in the squat which may allow you to lift more weight. This study also found that using a lifting belt does not lower core muscle activation like many people think. Take a big belly breath and locate the area your stomach inflates the most – this is where you want to wear your belt. Take a big breath and push your stomach hard into the belt to get the most support for each lift.
