WHO SHOULD USE A 10MM LEVER BELT

A 10MM Lever Belt is designed for anyone serious about strength training and performance.

You should use one if you:

• Regularly perform squats, deadlifts, or overhead presses

• Train for powerlifting, bodybuilding, or Olympic lifting

• Want to improve lifting form and reduce injury risk

• Need core stability during heavy or high intensity sessions

It’s ideal for intermediate and advanced lifters who have mastered technique and want to safely increase load capacity.

WHO SHOULD NOT USE A 10MM LEVER BELT

While lever belts are powerful tools, they’re not for everyone, especially if you’re still developing your foundation.

Avoid using a belt if you:

• Are new to lifting (focus on natural bracing and core strength first)

• Are performing light accessory or isolation exercises

• Train primarily for functional or endurance fitness

• Have back injuries without consulting a medical professional

Belts are meant to enhance strength, not replace proper form or technique.

WHEN TO WEAR A LEVER BELT

You don’t need to wear your belt for every set — it’s most effective when your core is under maximal stress.

Use your belt when:

• Performing heavy squats, deadlifts, cleans, or presses

• Attempting 80%+ of your one-rep max

• Doing low-rep, high-intensity sets

• You need extra support during fatigue

Avoid wearing it throughout your entire session — overreliance can weaken your natural core activation over time.

WHEN TO USE IT

The 10MM Lever Belt is best used during heavy compound movements where spinal stability is crucial.

Recommended exercises include:

• Barbell Squats

• Deadlifts

• Overhead Press

• Bent-Over Rows

• Clean and Jerk

• Powerlifting or Strongman Training

If your goal is strength, power, or safety during max-effort lifts the belt is your best ally.

HOW TO WEAR A LEVER BELT PROPERLY

Using your lever belt the right way maximizes its benefits. Here’s how:

1. Position the Belt: Place it around your lower torso, just above your hip bones.

2. Align It Evenly: The belt should sit snugly across your abdomen and lower back.

3. Tighten the Lever: Close the lever until you feel firm compression around your core, it should feel supportive, not suffocating.

4. Brace Your Core: Take a deep breath and push your abs out against the belt to create intra-abdominal pressure before lifting.

5. Unlatch After Each Set: Use the lever for quick release and comfort between sets.

💡 Pro Tip: The belt is a tool for better bracing not a substitute for core activation. Always engage your abs before lifting.

HOW TIGHT SHOULD A LEVER BELT BE?

Your 10MM Lever Belt should be tight enough to support your core, but not so tight that you can’t breathe or brace properly.

Use this scale as a guide:

• Heavy Lifting Tightness: 8–9/10 — very firm, ideal for max effort lifts.

• Moderate Tightness: 6–7/10 — secure yet comfortable for training sets.

• Light Support: 4–5/10 — for lighter lifts or mobility work.

 If you can’t take a full breath or expand your abdomen, it’s too tight. The goal is to create pressure, not restrict movement.

WHY THE 10MM LEVER BELT IS A MUST-HAVE

The Set Lifting 10MM Lever Belt isn’t just for powerlifters — it’s for anyone serious about strength, safety, and long term progress.

Why it’s a must-have:
