Lifting belt

gonnasnap

I'm in need of a new belt and am itching to get my hands on a lever belt. Just wanted some input before spending the cash. Also can't decide between the 10 or 13mm.

I haven’t worn a belt in years, but when I did, I always went with thicker, it just felt like I was getting more support.

I use 10mm. Why? Because I'm a poor student. If you have the money get a 13mm. My old training partner has one, they are awesome. Although 10mm does the job! Just not as well.

One thing I would check is to see if 13mm is legal in competition in the federation you compete in. I think some feeds require 10mm but I don't remember off the top of my head which ones they are.

Rogue 13mm is the best I've used but it's not a lever. I never saw the fascination with lever belts, they are extremely annoying. But I like to wear different tightnesses depending on the lift. And I gain and lose weight a lot. So adjusting a lever would be infuriating.

I have an Inzer 10mm lever belt. I've had my Inzer for 4 or 5 years now and it's great, best belt I've ever had. It does take a few weeks because they make it for you, they don't have them all just hanging on a rack somewhere so keep that in mind.

It's really not that bad actually, just two big screws.

I have a 10 mm and a 13 mm. The 13 takes longer to break in due to thickness. Either would probably be fine.

Inzer 10mm. The best, Jerry.

Second the 13mm Rogue. Double Prong if your asking.

i have 10mm. inzer, single prong. Not the lever. My weight is always fluctuating by the minute, so i like to be able to adjust on the fly, and also adjust for specific lifts, specific sets, etc. thast just my personal preference. 10mm is very thick , i can't imagine wearing 13mm , it would take 10 years for me to break in .

The rogue 13mm was pre-broken in, it was comfortable the very first time I wore it.

I was looking at either the inzer or Elitefts. I currently have a 10mm two prong (and by currently I mean I forgot it in NH when I moved to FL) and I do like it but I can only get it on or off if I'm close to a power rack. Or have someone there to help me. Which is fine when I'm at a meet but not as practical when I'm training alone. My weight/inches don't fluctuate all that much and I don't think adjusting 2 screws would be that cumbersome.

That's the belt u was leaning towards but I'll probably just like mine a lot and not adore it...It's a guy thing.
