Waste of money.12

Ever worn socks that are too tight at the ankle, and when you take them off you're left with that dip? That's what waist trainers do.
Unless of course you use them so often and so tightly that they actually change your shape and start shifting your internal organs. Which... yeah, no. Just don't.23 -

For 99% of the population they are pointless.4

That would only happen with tightlacing and steel boned corsets. And it would take years. And if you stopped tightlacing your body would return to its natural state.
The glorified shapewear everyone now calls waist trainers do diddly.7 -

This.
Although there is one OTHER way your internal organs can be shifted around other than tightlacing and it's a bit more natural.....pregnancy.
I've never fully experienced this, but I hear it is uncomfortable....2 -
No just no.2

All of this aside; can anyone provide some evidence as to why competitors in contest prep use waist trainers/wraps during cardio?
I have heard of a protocol involving; "fat-burners", yohimbine, waist wraps and fasted cardio.

My guess is to make them sweat more.3 -

Yohimbine and cardio both this resting heart rate. Yohimbine also increases blood flow through the body and in leaner people can help them lose the last bit of fat. The only issue is using Yohimbine haphazardly can actually kill you. Not recommended for someone who doesn't know what to watch out for.1 -

The wrapping is much like itworks wraps or just plain old cellophane. It's basically spot sweating and causes a temporary reduction of water in the area. I don't really know how it works but see before and afters of wrappings and there is a difference. You just need to not drink for the period you want the effect to last.......0 -

I am aware of the use/mechanisms behind yohimbine and fasted cardio. Was more asking regarding the waist trainers.
My thoughts would be localised water reduction and potentially increased lipolysis (as this would only be used in extremely lean individuals there may be benefits).
