Black Weightlifting Belt

The Black Weightlifting Belt is available in several sizes (S to XL, even XXL depending on the model) to fit all body types. Measure your waist at navel height before ordering. A well-fitted belt should be comfortable without cutting off circulation: once tightened, you should be able to fit 2 fingers between the belt and your abdomen.

Yes, the belt's characteristics significantly affect its effectiveness. Width: a wider belt (10cm) protects a larger lower-back surface. Material: leather (rigid, maximum protection, ideal for powerlifting) vs neoprene (flexible, comfortable, general weight training). Closure system: velcro (convenient), lever (powerlifting), buckle (classic).

Use the belt only for heavy loads (>80% of your 1RM) on high axial-load exercises (squat, deadlift). For moderate loads, train without a belt to develop natural bracing. The belt is a safety tool, not a substitute for a strong core.

For CrossFit, a light, flexible belt (neoprene, 6-8cm wide) is generally preferred. It doesn't hinder Olympic movements while providing lower-back support during high-intensity WODs. Check the material and width of the Black Belt on the forceaddictpro.fr product page.

After each session: wipe off sweat with a damp cloth. Leather belt: apply a specific nourishing cream every 2-3 months. Neoprene belt: hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap, air dry. Store hanging or flat to avoid permanent creases.
