Why do you have to wear a belt when you squat down and pull hard?

Squat and hard pull both need the waist to exert force, and the waist bears a great load. The belt is to protect the waist from injury. The use of protective devices is related to the load strength. In order to give full play to the power of the three exercises, practitioners often try their best and even sprint for new strength. At this time, protective gear is necessary, and assistance is needed if conditions permit.

Squat is a barbell squat, which can be divided into squat before the neck and squat behind the neck. Hard pull is a hand-held barbell, which can be divided into straight leg hard pull, bent leg hard pull and sumo hard pull. Although squat and hard pulling are the main leg exercises, almost all muscles are involved.

pay attention to

Warm up effectively before squatting, such as doing some squats with bare hands first, so that the knee joint can secrete synovial fluid and reduce friction. When squatting, avoid excessive knee forward. It is suggested to focus on the middle and rear position of the sole of the foot, which can effectively reduce the pressure on the knee. When squatting, see if your load has exceeded the maximum load.

The knee joint should not be adducted. It should be reversed in the direction of the toes. Knee adduction is the main cause of injury, usually because of overweight. Don't relax your knees when you stand up. Once deflated, the pressure is on the knee joint. You should start with the heel and straighten your back as quickly as possible.
