Weightlifting Belts
A lifting belt CrossFit UK athletes reach for once training moves past bodyweight work and into heavier squats, deadlifts and Olympic lifts. Wrapping around the abdomen, a belt gives your core something to brace against under load, helping you lift with a stronger, more stable trunk. Anyone working towards a new back squat or deadlift max, or facing a heavy strength cycle in their programming, stands to benefit from adding one to their kit.
WorkIt CrossFit stocks belts from Frog, Velites and Rehband, covering leather and nylon builds across a range of widths and closure styles, so functional fitness athletes and Olympic lifters alike can find the best lifting belt for functional fitness training rather than pure powerlifting. The Frog Lifting Belt is a popular pick for its quick-release buckle and durable build, suited to moving between lifts and metcons in the same session.
