Powerlifting Belt/Weight Lifting Belt - 4 Inches Wide - No Taper for Maximum Support & Protection

VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT PUT THIS BELT STRAIGHT ON AFTER YOU UNBOX IT. IT'S NOT THE SAME AS A 10MM. IT'S THICKER AND YOU WILL GET STUCK. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED PEOPLE LOL, I LEARNED THE HARD WAY.Background: Coming from a $50 cheap 10mm flimsy eBay lever belt. No experience with Titan, Inzer, Best Belts, or any other big name companies.Initial Impressions straight out the box: Very solid and sturdy. It's super stiff and I can tell it's gonna be awhile to break this bad boy in lol. It looks as if they used a thinner stitching on the inside and a thicker stitching on the outside. Not a big deal or concern from me, but just an observation. Rivets and buckle seem to be very well made and it looks like they'd last a lifetime.Now I had to get straight to the sizing. I've had a bad experience with my first belt with sizing as I'm on the last hole of my 10mm lever belt, so I was really hoping that the sizing would be correct this time around. Again I got kinda disappointed, but not as much as my 1st belt. I walk around everyday around 32-33 inches, let's just use 32.5 as reference. Looking at the sizing chart, it would be common sense that I for sure get a medium because that would put me smack dab in the middle. It's a no brainer. This wasn't the case. the 30-33 Medium size that they offer is at the end of the belt instead of the middle. This would suggest that the belt runs a tad bit small. I myself at the tightest most comfortable position is at the 31 inch hole. Once I break it in i might be able to sneak in the 30 inch mark hole. I will put pics for the sizing and the thickness is pretty on point, as it should be. The thing people need to understand is that you will tighten the belt a couple inches less than the belt itself. I'm a 32.5 inch waist but need to cinch the belt at 30-31 inches for maximum support and comfort. If the sizing is the same as the Medium, Large would be too small. I'd be on the last hole. So for a person with a 32-33 inch waist, you only got 1-2 holes left to go and 5-6 holes to lose weight. The Medium goes from 26-33 inches.TL;DR I have a 32.5 inch waist. I personally fit into the 30-31 inch hole. The Medium size belt goes from 26-33 inches. Going to take a long time to break in being a 13mm belt as opposed to a 10mm

I've been using this 3x weekly for about six months for back squats and deadlifts. The quality is excellent, all rivets and stitching remain in great shape, the buckle/pin/roller are great, and the belt hole I've been using is still sound. The belt is two functional layers of high quality leather, with a thin suede layer on the outside. It's sturdy as hell, and beautifully made. The support from this thing is exceptional. Absolutely worth the money.I'm between sizes. If you're gaining and putting on fat as well as muscle, size up. If you're stable, cutting, or staying lean while gaining, size down since there's room to add another hole if needed. Keep in mind it needs to be *tight* while you're going through the exercise. I'm in the last hole, and had to wear it under my shirt for a couple months while I cut.It can be difficult to get the tongue through the belt loop. Trust me, it'll go.You can probably get stuck in it, if you tighten too far. Putting it on can be a struggle at first, since the belt is so stiff. I brace my fingers against the buckle and hold the edges of the belt while I crank it down.I would absolutely buy it again, though I'll be amazed if it wears out. So glad I decided to get a solid belt worth working in to, rather than a cheapo "starter" belt for my beginner gains.

I powerlift and have had this belt for 6 years now. It still works great even with some expected wear. When I first got the belt, I got it in the wrong size and Stoic exchanged it for the right size quickly and easily. Great company, great product.

Really like the quality of the product. Very thick leather and I could see how it certainly meets the needs of any serious powerlifter or person doing high end strength training. Unfortunately, when I got the product, the belt was too small. Based on the specs I thought a MED would be just right based on sizing info on the internet. When I got the belt I couldnt even fasten the last available notch. I measured it out and the highest notch would not fit a 34 waist ( I measure 34.5 in the waist with very little body fat). A medium would be perfect for someone with a 28" to 31" waist based on the thickness. a 33" waist would be pushing it. Keep in mind this is very thick, stiff leather and even after the "breaking in" period a person with a 34" waist or higher would not fit in a MED.I was able to have contact with Katelyn from Lift and she said she would let me know once the Large size is available. For the quality of the product, it is a great price.

I am really happy I bought this belt. I originally bought a belt from Iron Bullhttps://www.amazon.ca/PowerLifting-Belt-Weight-Lifting-Weightlifting/dp/B078FMN4V9The Iron Bull belt is much lower quality. It had a weird chemical smell and the leather inside was a weird blue color. It was also too soft to be leather.From all the reasonably priced belts I could find this was the best

Feels comfortable to work out in. Well made product.
