The little equipment that matters
In weight training, a few accessories improve safety and comfort during workouts. The lifting belt supports the torso during heavy loads, gloves protect the hands, straps and grips diversify exercises, and weights allow for a gradual increase in difficulty. They complement bars, dumbbells, and machines, both in the gym and at home, without ever replacing good technique.

Belt and gloves
The lifting belt, such as the Harbinger and RDX leather ones, wide and rigid, is used for heavy movements like squats and deadlifts: by pushing against it with the abs, you increase the pressure in the abdomen, which stabilizes the spine. It is reserved for the heaviest sets, not for the entire workout. The gloves, like the Harbinger Power and Shield, protect the palms from calluses and improve grip on bars. The lumbar belt Endurance, more flexible, supports the lower back.
Abdominals and weighting
The abdominal wheel, rolled out in front from the knees, intensely strengthens the abdominal core: progress slowly to avoid arching the back. The suspension straps Softee, attached to a bar, allow for hanging leg raises. The weighting kit Fit & Rack adds weight to bodyweight exercises like pull-ups or dips. Choose your belt to fit your waist, and check the condition of straps and buckles before each session.

Frequently asked questions
When should you use a lifting belt?
The belt is worn for heavy loads in squats, deadlifts, or military presses. It helps stabilize the torso but does not replace good technique or strengthen the abdominal core.
Leather belt or flexible belt, which one to choose?
Leather, being rigid, provides maximum support for heavy loads, like the Harbinger or RDX models. Flexible EVA belts, which are more comfortable, are suitable for cross-training and varied movements.
Is it necessary to wear gloves for weight training?
Gloves protect the palms from calluses and improve grip on bars. The Harbinger Shield adds wrist support, useful for bench pressing. Some practitioners prefer chalk.
Is the abdominal wheel suitable for beginners?
Yes, as long as you start on your knees, with a short range of motion, keeping your back flat. Gradually extend the movement as the abdominal core strengthens, to avoid arching.
How to progress with bodyweight training using weights?
A weighted vest or wrist weights increases the difficulty of pull-ups, dips, or push-ups without changing the exercise. Add weight in small increments, once you have mastered your sets with clean technique.
