So, where does a weight belt come in with all of this? In theory, these belts simply give you extra support, by providing more compression force to your core. This force helps increase the pressure you have within your core and create more stiffness, says DeMattos. The added stiffness means your spine remains better supported, and, theoretically, you may be able to lift more powerfully as a result.engaging your core muscles when you’re lifting, says Holland.
This brings us to an important point. Weight lifting belts don’t take the place of strong core muscles. You shouldn’t rely on weight belts to do the bracing for you.

But comparing weight belts used in the gym to those in work settings isn’t exactly apples to apples, the authors of the same review write, since the weight is typically lower and more endurance based in a job setting. When researchers looked at weight belts used in workouts, the conclusions were a little different: “There’s no strong evidencethe use of lifting belts,” the authors of the review wrote.
