5 reasons adding this to your gym bag will elevate your performance!
1. POSTURE & TECHNIQUE: Study's have shown increasing intra-abdominal pressure will help stabilize the body under heavy loads. By maintaining tension in the center third of ones abdomen, athletes around the world report unmatched posture and technique when performing at the highest level.
2. FOCUS TRAINING LARGER MUSCLE GROUPS: While the small/ fast twitch muscle fibers are being constricted by a competitive belt, the larger muscle groups are more focused on power input compared to stability and output. This will reduce risk of injury by refocusing the load on stronger/ larger muscles that the stability muscles are unable to perform.
3. REDUCE IN INJURY RISK: Increasing stability takes stress off of vital joints and keeps stress away from our central nervous system (spine and disks). Excessive force reduction can prevent chronic lower back pain and displacement of our skeletal integrity.
4. INCREASE MIND TO BODY CONNECTION: With added support and stabilization from strapping on a competitive belt, athletes can feel more confident in their ability to to move heavier weights. Since the belt adds intra-abdominal pressure, it feels as if the the workload seems easier! While the belt does the job for the smaller muscle groups in motion, the concentration of contracting larger muscle groups enhances significantly!
5. LIFT HEAVIER, FOR LONGER: To summarize the past 4 points, your body will be able to work harder while maintaining proper form, reduce injury and increase longevity and force higher output while training. This means a more intense workout, a boost in ability of repetition and stamina, which could then result in more muscle growth!
