bracing core powerlifting belt usage

[ChimboVet]

bracing core + belt:

bracing: inhale, push abdomen out + sides, hold breath during lift.
belt: amplifies intra-abdominal pressure, supports core during heavy compound.

belt usage:
- heavy compound (squat, deadlift heavy)
- weight >80% 1RM
- NOT for warmup o light

yo belt only for heavy sets. core development requires sets sin belt también.

belt usage heavy compound only. core development sin belt important.
