Leather weightlifting belts

• Leather weightlifting belts are the most reliable
  weightlifting belts. These lifting belts are
  famous because of their durable design. Leather
  belts are well-built to support the heaviest of
  lifts. The thick leather makes it sturdier to
  support great pressure and resistance. Leather
  belts propagate the force evenly around your core
  and support your lower back during squats and dead
  lift workout sessions.

Pros and Cons of Leather Weightlifting Belts

• Pros
• A product made of leather is more durable and
  reliable than most other materials. The leather
  belt is up to 13 mm thick and 4 inches wide,
  which makes it ideal for heavy-weight exercises
  without the risk of tearing.
• The leather belt is the best choice for
  performing deadlifts. It provides the needed
  support to the core to prevent lower back
  hyperextension while enduring a great amount of
  resistance.

• According to a study published in National Center
  for Biotechnology Information, wearing a belt
  that supports your core during weightlifting
  increases intra-abdominal pressure by up to 40,
  and the compression of intervertebral discs
  reduces by 50.

• Cons
• The main problem with leather belt design is the
  fact that it can be uncomfortable to wear.
  Because it is made of tough and durable leather,
  which makes the movements uneasy.
• A leather lifting belt inhibits a greater range
  of motions and especially for beginners the belt
  messes with their motor learning skills.

• A leather lifting belt is expensive because of
  the material used in it and the high production
  costs.
