Power-lifting belts
Get a real belt for lifting real weights! Our new single prong, steel buckle belt – Heavy Duty!
How do belts work? – They create “hoop tension”, the same as the metal hoops that surround old wooden barrels. This stops the splaying of forces outwards and redirects them upwards. This really saves the lower back and hips.
Powerlifting belts – $50* – If you are going to squat or deadlift heavy, get a real belt, it is the single most important item I sell or recommend for those who lift heavy! I still use the belt I bought in 1997 and it is in great condition. Hell I even have one belt that is 30 years old and it is still going strong. We have belts at the Broncos 13 years old, being used by 40-60 gorillas a day! These things last – $50 spread across 10 years = less than 10 cents per week! What an investment!
Powerlifting belts are great! 10 cm wide all the way round, 7-8 mm thick! Any other type of weight-training belt is really just a piece of string!
