What is the Tommy Kono T.K. Waist Band for weightlifting?
The weightlifting belt had to be improved. That's why Tommy Kono
invented the T.K. Waistband for weightlifting. The Tommy Kono T.K.
waistband is more efficient than any weightlifting belt because
it helps maintain good posture and gives excellent support to the
lower back as well. The Tommy Kono T. K. weightlifting band is an
effective aid to those who suffered aches and pains of the lower
back by keeping the back warm while providing excellent support.
Throw away your old weightlifting belt! The Story Behind the T.K.
Waistbands by Tommy Kono:
When I started barbell training in the late 1940's, I used to geet
the inner tube of a bicycle tire and slit it down the middle to
spread it apart like you would a snake skin for drying purposes.
I would wrap this around my waist and use a rope to keep it in place
and perform my situps, leg raises and side bends.
In 1964, I came across a rubber sheet that was an ideal material
for the waistband. I made the waist bands and started to sell them
as "Slim Trim Waist Bands". It was at this time in which I also
developed he T.K. Knee Band.
As Velcro was unavailable in those days, I just made a rubber tube
of varying sizes so it would accommodate the different waist measurements.
You had to squirm into it past your hips to get it on your waist.
Pity the female that had very large hips and a comparatively small
waist!
Anyway, from the users of the waistband I learned that it helped
maintain good posture and gave excellent support to the lower back
as well. It was an effective aid to those who suffered aches and
pains of the lower back by keeping the back warm while providing
excellent support.
The Tommy Kono T.K. Waistband's one size will fit everyone because
of the use of Velcro. The quality material is stretchable and because
of the thickness its use will give you excellent support and warmth
to the area it covers. It will not "gather" or wrinkle and will
outlast others when used as instructed. Get rid of your cumbersome
leather weightlifting belt and get your T.K. Weightlifting Band
