Weight lifting belt suggestions?

[Xpliot]

So I’ve been using this belt I found on Amazon for a long time now. It’s not thick at all. And to my surprise it’s sucks hahha I joined and actually lifting gym today and my buddy had me try an actual powerlifting belt and it was so much thicker and for once my lowerback didn’t hurt afterwards and even pulled 505lbs. You could def tell the difference. Below is the one I’ve used for along time now cause I’m not that bright apparently lol looking for a reputable lever belt if you guys have any suggestions

Then here’s video of me pulling 505lbs. I did 495lbs and it looked a lot better so I’m going to keep working on form. Buddy said that would count in a meet. I’m in no way trying to do a power meet. Still leaning out. But trying to always improve

Pioneer makes the best belts in the business in my opinion.

 

[Xpliot]

Cool I’ll look them up for sure! Thank you!

 

[Neuro]

Yessir! They make all the rogue belts. Small shop. Good folks. And they are fully customizable. You can spend as much or as little as you want.

I use pioneer it’s great cheap in terms of belts and ou can customize them to say team
Tarts

I bought a cardillo belt ~40 years ago. It was one of the best at that time. Back then I mail ordered their catalog out of the back of powerlifting usa (now defunct) and picked one from their options. No internet! Hahaha

I still have it today. Well made… I treat it with conditioner every so often.

If I was to order another one…it would be a pioneer or elitefts…maybe a cardillo.

My exact belt only it was maybe $75 back then which was expensive.

My point being… get a nice one you like and you’ll have it forever.

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah I plan on getting a nice one. That other one was thin and my lower back always hurt really bad afterwards. And I used nicer one and I had no back issues. It’ll def be a good investment

Guard that thing in public gyms. They have tendencies to walk off

I second Pioneer! Great belt that should last forever.

Then if looking for a belt squat belt not just for belt squats but also weighted dips or pull-ups, definitely go with Spud. Was recommended to me on here and glad I asked!

 

[Neuro]

Spud is also a helluva company.

Looking for a solid belt myself. What are your thoughts on Rouge vs. Pioneer?

 

[Dirtnasty]

Pioneer makes rogue belts

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah I got a few in mind now after looking at pioneer. I’ll have to look up spud

 

[Xpliot]

Thanks man def appreciate it!

 

[Poppy]

I don’t think spud makes leather products.

I have a belt squat belt from spud that’s top notch and most likely last forever

 

[Xpliot]

They got spud belts with ratchet straps hahah that’s pretty awesome!

 

[Poppy]

Well as @Neuro said. Spud doesn’t make no junk. If they’re selling it then it’s quality.
