The brace provides good support. However, if you lift heavy objects, it is important to watch your posture and lifting habits to avoid any injuries.

There are better ones that support your back better. This particular one is okay. Pay more and purchase the more suportive one. One that you can put your arms in.

I use this belt to give me protective support when doing lifting. I have a bad back and it does help with preventing doing damage to my spine. My doctor says that this belt is great for protecting my back but to not depend on it to give me power to lift items heaver than I am supposed to lift. So, this belt will give you protective support but should not be used to give extra strength.

I have lifted only a couple of times with it. It worked fairly well. I run mostly. After a three mile run if didn't shift much if you're worried about it sliding around. Hope this helps.

I am an average size/condition female, and I have had no difficulty lifting and carrying it as needed. Catcher should be disconnected first so it's not awkward.

If you need something to support you weight you should install a handicapped grab bar. I find this to be well built but I doubt that it is designed to support a persons body weight.

I wish I could answer your question better. I bought this for my husband, but he never wears it because he says it is uncomfortable. As far as weight lifting....probably not. they don't go up high enough on you waist and lower back for that.

I'm not tall and thin like most of the reviews for this product. I'm 5'11 and 255. Would this work for me? Man boobs, big gut and all? I want to carry my smallest gun (Springfield XDs) when I'm in the office and I've been looking for something like this to wear under a tucked in dress shirt and tie with no jacket.

It is very lightweight you should be able to lift it with one hand. It only weighs 3 1/2 pounds. I am sure this will work for you.

I am short too, only 5-5 I have kept this in my living room chair since i purchased it. I really like the way my back feels after sitting against this back support.

I've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

I'm even 5 feet and I find it a little low, not terribly. I have it as high as it goes. I chose it because of low weight to lift into a car.

I'm a 30-ish woman in pretty good shape. I find that kind of load in my bag is not comfortable for long periods. A backpack would distribute the weight more equally.

I bought it to pick up all the light things) and tops, again not too heavy). that I continually drop. However I find that I use it for all kinds of things, Yes, it is good for pajamas and underwear, pants (if they are light-weight). I love it and I have bought another one to keep in the car and to travel with me.I don't think it was made for heavy objects, But you will find that, with practice, you can do a lot more, like scooting heavier shoes within reaching distance,

Hi. Just letting you know that I would suggest a more supportive weight bench. Also if you look at the barbell rack its kinda hard to rest it there cause its close together. Also look at the feet of this weight bench notice they are round abd this makes this weight bench suitable for lighter lifting

I'm 5'3" and it works fine for me, I can't see that it would be any different for someone a few inches shorter. The one difference that I noticed with this machine compared to other row machines is that you can't accumulate momentum, which is actually really nice, it makes it so your first pull on the bar is the same difficulty, as every time you pull it, if that makes sense.

I would say yes,, though it might be a little too hefty for a smaller person to hold/use.As far as the products "action", I don't think it would be too much for a smaller person to handle.Like the others have said, you can adjust it and/or put on a extra layer of clothing in case it is too "tough" on you. I say buy/try it in confidence , you'll like it!

I use it and I am a woman with small hands. It is not as heavy as my husband's regular drill but it is more sturdy than my previous B&D; driver/drill. I prefer this one even though it is a bit wider in the grip and a tad heavier. It's my favorite gadget.
