Benefits of Weightlifting Belt

• When you lift heavy weights, like during squats,
  you need to control your breathing. Lots of
  pressure will be placed on your back and core
  muscles.
• You also need to brace your muscles while you
  breathe. Bracing will not only strengthen the
  muscles but also give them stability in the long
  run.

  heavier weights and perform more reps.
• The belt should fit over your expanded stomach
  because you will be breathing deeply while you
  exercise. It will also act as an extra brace when
  you lift.
