When Pigs Fly by Danielle Brandon.
The ultimate phrase of doubt. The belief that something will NEVER happen. But it's a reminder to push and prove the naysayers wrong!
WHY WEAR A 2POOD BELT?
A weightlifting belt is worn around the waist to provide support and stability to the lower back and core during heavy lifts. It reminds you to brace and engage your core, and it's an essential piece of training equipment for any athlete hoping to improve their strength.
✔️ Support your core and protect your back on squats, deadlifts, snatches, and cleans
✔️ Stay comfortable and never pinch as you go for your next PR

WHEN & HOW TO USE A BELT?
1. WEIGHTLIFTING
You should use a weightlifitng belt on lifts that engage your core such as squats, deadlifts, clean and jerks, and snatches.
2. 80% RULE
We recommend using a weightlifting belt when you are lifting heavy.Heavy is relative, and we usually define this as 80% of your max lift in any of the above core lifts.
3. REPETITIVE MOVEMENTS UNDER LOAD
Even if you're lifting less than 80% of your one-rep max, belts are often worn when doing high number of repetitive movements under load.
4. PLACEMENT
A weightlifting belt should be worn securely above your hips and below your ribs, centered around your belly button for maximum engagement.
