Weight Lifting Support FAQs

Is it necessary to wear a weight lifting belt?

While they aren’t necessarily a must-have, weight lifting belts can provide valuable support to your lower back and spine, and can reduce the risk of hernias. They are a great option for all types of Olympic-style weight lifting, whether you’re doing multiple reps or you’re attempting to lift anywhere near your one-rep maximum.

Does chalk help with weight lifting?

Weight lifting is sweaty work, which can affect your ability to grip and lift the bar. Lifting chalk absorbs this moisture, granting you a better grip while helping to prevent blisters and other injuries.
