This is a great belt Nov 18, 2006
By SDR
I use this belt for bodybuilding; specifically for squats and dead lifts. I purchased this belt originally because it had some padding on the inside and helped fill the small sway in the middle of my back. When cinched tightly this belt actually helps keep my spine in alignment and has drastically reduced the amount of pressure my lower back was enduring with other types of belts. My suggestion would be to loosen this belt when not lifting as it not made to be worn constantly.
I have used the velcro type of belts as well as the regular leather belts and neither of them offered the same type of protection I feel I receive from this one. I would highly recommend this belt for anyone doing serious lifting and has any sort of dip in their lower back.
I noticed that one of the reviews commented that the belt was made from plastic. This is not true, the belt is made of a very stiff leather and as it used will begin to fit to your particular shape...

 Need Sizing Chart Oct 24, 2009

I am a 36" waist, and the medium belt is snug at the last holes in the belt. If you have a 36" waist, you need a "large" belt.

 Not a proper weight belt Aug 06, 2011
By C. Smalley
"Aes"
Basically the problem is this, if you don't know. The function of a weight belt is to give your abdominal muscles something to push against. The belt is tight and offers resistance so that the abs can push harder and therefore brace the torso/spine more effectively. That's what a belt is supposed to do.
Now, it makes no sense to have the belt be six inches tall in the back and 2 inches in the front. This is just poor design. A proper belt should be 4 inches the entire way around. Look into Inzer Belts, they are quality. Yes, you're going to pay more for a quality belt but any belt that is bigger in the back and small in the front is just improper design and won't function as well as one that is designed properly.
Save your money and put it towards a belt that is designed by people who actually understand the function of a belt.
