Weight Lifting Belt Gym Fitness Cowhide Leather with Adjustable Holes Weightlifting Powerlifting Bodybuilding Deadlift Squat Workout Strength Training for Men and Women

as a lifter in his mid 40s who works out in his home gym i'm more concerned about my core bracing and protecting my back when i do my compound lifts than looking cool so i tend to have my belt on for most of my workout as i like the constant feedback it gives on how well i'm engaging when i set up for my movements. this is a great quality cowhide belt with a good true to size fit, the double prongas give a firm and solid closure that holds well and doesn't loosen and can't be accidentally knocked undone like some lever belts. the width gives a nice broad surface to brace against and the padding on the back makes it comfortable even when worn tightly. for £24 it's well made and in my opinion a very good value belt. i use it every workout.

I've recently started to change my workouts from isolated ones to compound ones, and I've seen many people online using these belts for workouts such as deadlifts and squats. After training with these, I realise how much they help brace my core when I'm lifting heavy weights. My current waist is about 33 inches, and this M-size belt fits me perfectly. I do make sure to get this as tight as possible, and it doesn't feel effective when it's not. There is a downside: taking it out after putting it on tightly is a struggle. I've seen other belts use a sort of clamp, and I think those are easier to remove. The back of the belt is padded, so it does feel comfortable on my waist even when it's tight. I will continue to use this as it has been showing good results in my lifts, but there is still room for improvement.
