It's definitely necessary on squats and deadlifts the higher and higher you're getting to your 1RM. Especially with squats to maintain core rigidity during the rep. Being able to brace your core against the belt while you're lifting is a big help. I bought this belt a year ago and it's strong and no nonsense. I love it.

It's no Inzer, but I picked up this belt from Amazon early this year when I wanted to upgrade from my shitty Valeo belt and it works great.

I have this 10mm belt at 5'11" 185lbs, it's in the second to tightest holes, I wear 33" jeans. Great support, wearing in nicely. Not sure the 13mm would provide much more for me except be harder to break in. I find this belt is just soft enough not to cut into me on dead lifts. I wear it a little higher for deads after following Alan Thrall's advice.

I've found that for $30-$40 this is pretty damn workable: Ader Leather Powerlifting Belt -

I bought something like this belt back in 2013. I still have it.

u/SceneScenery · 2 pointsr/weightroom

I'm a big fan of the belt I bought five years ago. It's similar to this one.


The belts at mylocal sporting goods store felt too flimsy or weren't good for lifting (thick in the back, thin in the front--you know the type) Try as many as you can before buying.

u/Duerfen · 2 pointsr/powerlifting

It was this one.

A medium was $35 on sale, base was $50. Very comparable to Inzer belts in my experience.

This is really helpful and thank you for the thorough reply!! I'm going to try this 4" and this one. But now that I've read your reply I may try a nylon alternative.

I wonder if the fuss about leather being necessary for powerlifting has to do with the very heavy weights that male lifters are encountering. If I were doing an 800lb deadlift, rather than 260, maybe I'd want something more substantial.

Sounds like I just need to test out a bunch of options and go with what feels right.

Got one of these in December. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028H00HG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

probably one of the best budget offering out there.

u/FolsomStreetFondler · 1 pointr/weightroom

I do have a leather weightlifting belt but prefer not to use it. I would rather grow stronger slower than rely on it at the lighter weights I am currently lifting. If I ever get back to intermediate level/competitive numbers, I will consider using it. Until then, it's breathing and bracing.

Cheers!

u/Cosmolution · 1 pointr/Fitness

If you're pretty serious about lifting and wanting to increase your strength, then I would recommend getting yourself a quality belt. I use a 4" belt that isn't tapered. I recommend not using a tapered belt, because front support is just as important as rear support. It's not just for your lower back. A Proper belt gives your stomach something to push against when it's full of air. The inward force of the belt pushes your gut against your spine to support it.

I just recently bought this belt and I love it.

If someone was wearing a squat suit and squatting 225, then that person is ignorant. Do you know if it was actually a squat suit or was it just a singlet? I've never seen anyone use a squat suit unless they're squatting 1,000+ lbs.

u/DaPrem · 1 pointr/Fitness

The quality of these belts don't look too good and I have never heard of em before. http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Power-Weight-Lifting-Medium/dp/B0028H00HG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458390267&sr=8-1&keywords=powerlifting+belt I HIGHLY recommend this one. Quality is great and price is almost the same as the ones you mentioned. Although I've only had it around 1 year I use 3-4 times a week and it has DEFINITELY held up

Straps

Reebok Lite TR (flat sole powerlifting shoe)

Chucks

Adidas Powerlift 3 Oly/squat shoes, 0.6" heel

You can get the 2's and the originals for cheaper if you look around on the internet a little bit more.

Adidas "Adipower" Oly shoes, 0.75" heel

I've heard most people get these for closer to 80-90 dollars, but I don't know where. Wei Rui is also a good brand for heeled Oly/squat shoes and come it a fair bit cheaper, but are not available on Amazon.

As for wraps and sleeves, I've no experience with them so I can't help much.
