Lifting Belt Plum

A weightlifting belt, also known as a lifting belt or gym belt, is a piece of equipment that goes around your waist to help to support your core muscles and lower back during heavy lifting exercises.

A lifting belt is designed to support your lower back and core during heavy lifts, helping to stabilize your spine and improve lifting form. This gives it the benefit of increased stability, better performance, and reduced risk of injury.

Use a weight lifting belt when you want to progress on squats, deadlifts, and more. Use them for maximum or heavy sets only.

Yes, wearing a lifting belt correctly can help you lift more! It does this by increasing the intra-abdominal pressure which creates more stiffness and supports your spine. This in turn helps you lift heavier weights comfortably and with confidence.

A prong belt uses a traditional buckle to secure it, allowing for easier micro-adjustments. A lever belt features a lever mechanism for quick tightening and loosening, offering a consistent fit.

A weightlifting belt should be tight enough to support your core and back but not so tight that it restricts breathing or movement.

Place the belt around your waist, just above your hips. Pull the belt tight, but not too tight, to allow for core bracing. Fasten the buckle to your preferred setting, ensuring the belt stays in place during lifts.

This will depend on your goals and fitness level, but a good way to determine when to start using a weightlifting belt is when you can’t do more than 1-5 reps with good form.

Choose a belt based on your lifting style, thickness, material, and buckle type (prong for adjustability, lever for quick release). At UPPPER, we have the two best types of lifting belts: Double-Prong and Lever Lifting Belts. Our Double-Prong Lifting Belts feature a double prong buckle for easy adjustability and made from a durable and comfortable microfiber vegan leather. Our 10MM Lever Belts feature a semi-matte lever for quick release and is made from two internal layers of genuine layer and outer microfiber leather – so it’s rigid, comfortable, and made to last.

Orders are processed and shipped within 1–2 business days. After your order is shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. The estimated time of arrival will vary depending on the location and shipping preference selected at checkout.

To clean your UPPPER Belt, use a clean microfiber towel dampened with warm water and disinfectant and wipe down the exterior. Do not use any bleach.
