2POOD | Snake Eyes 4" Weightlifting Belt

When & How to Wear a Belt

1. WEIGHTLIFTING

You should use a weightlifitng belt on lifts that engage your core such as squats, deadlifts, clean and jerks, and snatches.

2. 80% RULE

We recommend using a weightlifting belt when you are lifting heavy. Heavy is relative, and we usually define this as 80% of your max lift in any of the above core lifts.

3. REPETITIVE MOVEMENTS UNDER LOAD

Even if you're lifting less than 80% of your one-rep max, belts are often worn when doing high number of repetitive movements under load.

4. PLACEMENT

A weightlifting belt should be worn securely above your hips and below your ribs, centered around your belly button for maximum engagement.
