Back SafetyBack Belts
Do back belts prevent injuries? This question
has been the focus of much research lately. If
you choose to wear a back belt, here are a few
things to remember
Correct placement
  • Wear them properly! Back belts should be worn
    low, on the hips, between the navel and tailbone.
    Most back belts are placed here initially but
    tend to creep up as the day progresses
    (especially with women because of their smaller
    waistline and larger hip dimensions).

Incorrect placement
  • Dont wear them cinched up ALL day! Cinch
    them up only when you are going to lift.
  • Superman Syndrome. Back belts often give us
    a greater sense of ability and we attempt to
    lift/transfer more than we should.
