Ab Exercises & Weight Belts

Ab Exercises & Weight Belts

Weight belts are not needed. In fact, they can short-change you by making your abs work less, and you know what that means! The less your abs work, the lower your chance of a lean, mean 6-pack set of abs.

So make every exercise an ab exercise by bracing your abs and using your muscles at your own weight belt. This will help build a tight tummy and protect your abs and low back in daily activities when you can't rely on a weight belt (i.e. picking groceries out of the car).

In the unlikely event you are trying for a 1RM or 3RM, you might want to use a belt. But this should only be done by experienced lifters.
