Who is the sports corset suitable for?

Corset has a certain role, and proper use can play a role in thin waist, maintain body, protect waist, promote postpartum abdominal contraction, and relieve overeating. And it can reduce the force of the waist muscles, and there will be no accidents such as soreness and sprains. Also, wearing a corset can make people look thinner or more, and can also highlight the slenderness of the waist.

When should a belt be used?

It seems that in order to avoid the risk of spinal injury, a solid waist trainer corset should be used by both novice and strength trainers. In fact, not so.

(1) Novices should pay more attention to gradual progress, rather than relying on top rated waist trainers to "advance" to improve the level of strength training movements such as squatting.

The main reason why novices are prone to injury during strength training is that they pay more attention to or only focus on the training weight, while ignoring the safety protection and the specification of technical movements.

Compared with tying a waist trimmer corset, reducing the training weight is not only conducive to holding the movement faster, improving the standardization of the training movement but also protecting the waist due to the lighter load.

From light to heavy, from easy to difficult, this "step by step" training method is itself an important principle of strength training. Exercisers should make this principle a priority, and should not rely on the belt for rapid improvements in training levels.

(2) A belt should be used when impacting heavy weights.

So, how much weight is considered "big weight"? If the number of repetitions of a set of exercises "to failure" is less than 6, the training weight at this time can be regarded as "large or big", and the 3 in 1 waist and thigh trainer should be used. When you try "only 1 to 3 repetitions in a set" and you are exhausted, you should use a belt, and preferably someone protects it.

Even if you're using a sweat band waist trimmer, you can't continue if the reps haven't hit your expectations when trying heavier weights. Well, instead of forcing it, you should end it immediately and lighten the weight on the next set.

There are also some bodybuilders who believe that the use of posture corrector waist trainers can be ignored until the barbell squat level reaches 70 to 80 kg based on training experience.

(3) Belts should be used in movements with complex movement techniques and heavy training weights.

The more typical movements, in addition to squats, there are deadlifts and standing barbell presses. The movements are complex and there are many synergistic muscle groups, and the movements are more difficult. At this time, if a large weight is used, the risk of injury is high. In the gym, it is not uncommon to see people with lower back or spinal injuries due to deadlifts. Therefore, in complex compound movements such as deadlifts, the "weight threshold" for belt use should be lowered.

In barbell squat training, if there is no protection on site, no waist and hip trainer, and you want to try heavier weights, it is recommended to use a Smith Rack. The fixed force track can save the body's need for balance control and reduce the difficulty of training.
