You are mistaken if you think that a power belt can protect you from lower back injuries. Scientific studies have shown that injuries to the lower spine are explained by genetic causes and outright errors in the technique of performing strength exercises. As for the belts, by tightening the stomach, they increase intra-abdominal pressure. Thanks to this, the strength of the back extensor muscles increases significantly – by almost 23%. Thus, the use of athletic belts is justified only in heavy strength attempts with a weight exceeding 80% of the one-time maximum. Only use the belt when performing critical weight squats and deadlifts.
