Weight Lifting Belts

[Doublebase]

I'm not a fan of these and tried to explain why they cause more harm then good to my friend but he still wants one for Christmas. He wants a leather one, like a Golds Gym one. Anyone know any good sites that have good quality and good prices? Link me up please. His weist is around 34".

does he want a power lifting type belt or just like a every day belt?

 

[Doublebase]

powerlifting. he wants it for deadlifts and squats.

What width do you suggest? He's 5' 8" about 175lbs. Pretty lean.

personally i go with 13mm when im attempting 1rpm other than that time i never where one i think its all feel....personal opinons.....13mm will be the stiffer of the 2

I have a 13mm lever type belt. I have always been more into powerlifting then bodybuilding. The lever type belt IMO is better than the traditional belt. When going for a big single, you waste too much energy putting on a traditional style belt. Also, my last belt was the 10mm and I purchased this new 13mm belt last year. It is a much better belt than the 10mm.. But anyway go to inzer.com for any powerlifting gear.... The belt is worth avery penny....

Check out elitefts.com or nybarbell.com for ideas. Both are pretty good sites.

I never wear a belt, but then again I don't lift heavy enough to hurt myself!
