Bigsport - The Harcore Anabolic Underground Online Bodybuilding Magazine. The following is a list of some common training accessories and some helpful information about each.
Belts are probably the most used accessory next to gloves, and are probably used far to often.
A good belt can spare your back from the worst pressures on your lower back, but be advised, by using the belt too often you might develop a weaker back than you would without. Belts come in all different sizes and variations, be sure to get a belt that is not to big, a belt needs to be tight to have any effect at all and a wider belt usually gives better support than a narrow. Good belts are often designed with a broad back and narrow front to ensure good comfort. Gloves are used to ensure good grip and to spare your hands. There are also gloves developed for wrapping around the handle or bar to ensure better grip and let you use more of your muscles for lifting instead of griping.
