Barbell Belts - Best Brands

[Colin Stewart]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm toying with buying a belt for deadlifts. Any recommendations for best brands, I don't want to buy rubbish but also I doubt I'm going to use the belt often. So I'm looking at a decent mid-high end belt.

Thanks.

Why not borrow one from a friend and see if you like it?

I recently did a lot of research and decided on bestbelts.net due to the high volume of positive comments. I can't say for personal experience as my belt only cleared Sydney customs yesterday and so should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday

I buy my things like this from Rickey Dale Crain, a famous powerlifter who has his own web site and also a store on amazon.com.

Is there a chance you might compete in the future? Some federations have specific rules about equipment. I'm considering buying a belt myself and I will go for one that is accepted in the IPF.

A beautiful piece of handcrafted equipment. I'm glad I went three inch as four inch would have dug into my ribs on deads (I am 170cm, 5'8")

For pulling, my favorite belt is the The 2.5 Inch Powerlifting Belt, by Best Belts.
