Overview
Gymreapers' lifting belt is a 7mm real leather belt with a suede lining, dual prong steel buckle and a 4 inch tapered back, sized by measuring around the navel rather than the waist.
- 7mm real leather construction
- Suede lined interior
- Dual prong steel buckle
- 4 inch tapered back profile
Who it's for
Lifters doing squats and deadlifts who want firm leather back bracing. Anyone unsure of their exact navel measurement, or sitting between two sizes, should measure carefully first since the sizing does not overlap.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly report reduced back strain and being able to add weight to squats and deadlifts once using this belt, and most consider the fit accurate when sized by navel measurement, though the leather and buckle are stiff when new with prongs that can stick, and sizing holes do not overlap between sizes, so an inaccurate measurement can leave the belt too big or unable to close properly.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Firm support reported to reduce back strain during squats and deadlifts
- Suede lining adds comfort against the skin
- Steel dual prong buckle holds securely
- Sturdy leather construction
- Stiff and sticky prongs when new until broken in
- Sizing holes do not overlap between sizes, so an inaccurate measurement can mean a poor fit
