Best Lifting Belts for Lower Back Support and Safety
I have been having some minor lower back issues lately and I want to make sure I am using the best lifting belt for safety. I am not a competitive powerlifter but I do lift heavy and I want to protect my spine. I am looking for something that provides maximum support without being too uncomfortable.
I have looked at the leather belts from Rogue and the nylon belts from Schiek. I am training in Ohio and I want a belt that is reliable and easy to use. I am also wondering if a wider belt is always better for back support or if a four inch belt is sufficient.
What do you recommend for someone who just wants to stay safe while lifting? I am not looking for a world record but I want to be able to lift for many years to come. If you have a specific belt that helped you with back stability please share it with me.
