I bought this because I was working on a project and was constantly lifting 100lb sacks of cement. Seemed like my lower back was pulling out every other time. This thing not only helped me lifting the cement but after awhile I had built my back muscles up to the point I no longer had to use it. This thing is great, very comfortable and it allows you to do heavier and more frequent lifting than you could normally do.
