ProFitness Weight Lifting Belt - Premium 4" Wide Functional Fitness Belt for Men & Women - Squat & Deadlift Support

Full disclosure, I got this belt for free. Honestly, I thought this was going to be just another lifting belt. I figured so long as the belt is made well (it is), thick enough to stabilize/support (it is), and fits (it does); then it should be like every other buckle based lifting belt. I should know, I've used a handful of them.Well I was wrong.Testing: I used this for heavy deadlifts and squats. I intend to also use it for bent over rows as well as over head press.This belt is great. In my eyes these are three things that set this belt above it's competitors. The fit, the flap and the taper.Many belts I've used in the past have been "one size fits all", which is fine. Just.... fine. But then you typically end up with all of this excess belt hanging off your side assuming you're not large. Put simply, I'm a big fan of having belt sizes. Like this one. Mine fit as expected.I don't know how to describe it other than the flap, but there's a flap under the receiving end of the buckle. The flap is such a nice touch; if you're wearing a shirt, it keeps your shirt from getting sucked into the belt when you're putting it on. If it's on bare skin, it's much more comfortable than having a metal buckle dig into your flesh.I wasn't sure about the tape when I saw it at first. Every other belt I've seen/used has been the same height the whole way around. I'm now a fan, I think it's way more comfortable. ALSO as someone who's let cardio go to the wayside while focusing on lifting, I felt that I could get an extra rep in on squats because it seemed easier to breath- less pressure on the gut while still maintening plenty of support on the back.Overall this belt is great. The built quality is top notch and I'm very impressed with the aforementioned design choices.Side note: for those wondering "do I need a belt?". The short answer is, when squatting/deadlifting/rowing, the safe thing to do is brace your back with a belt. Not only is it safe, it'll allow you to lift more. The first time I lifted with a belt, it added 45lb to my deadlift.Get a belt, get this one

I’ve never used a weight belt before, decided to try it out to help support my back and attempt heavier weight to get some gains.The shipping for this was speedy. It looks sleek and much better what everyone else in gym wears. Seems like it’s a solid material, it’ll be a good couple of uses before it’ll deteriorate (if it does) but it comes with a lifetime warranty which is a solid steal, really shows this company is confident in their product.When I tried it the first time. It seemed like it was true to size. Didn’t need a size bigger or smaller. I had room to adjust it as I pleased. With the help of this bad boy, I was able to pack a good amount of extra weight to my routine without hurting my back. I also felt my form wasn’t hindered by it, if any RV I gotta it helped maintain it as I worked on my reps. It didn’t impede my work out, nor did it dig into my ribs. It was uncomfortable only because I’ve never used a belt before. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.This belt isn’t wide and doesn’t cover the lower portion your back like other belts do but after doing some research, that’s the last thing you want. You only want it to cover a certain part so the wideness of this belt seems appropriate.Putting the belt away in my bag was also nice and compact. It doesn’t take much room which is nice.I’m gonna keep using the belt. I’ve had a good experience with it. for others looking for a good deal. I’d say this is it.

This was my first time purchasing a belt , i was very unsure about it as I really don’t know which are best. I read some reviews on this products and saw the videos/photos and it sold me. I decided to order a size M. I have to say, WOW , it gives amazing support and I was able to lift heavier feeling safe BUT i buckled it to the last whole and realized it was too big. I reached out and wow!!! thank you for not making me go through the hassle of returning it. i was told they were sending a new one out and to keep it or pass the current one to a friend !! never have i had a company do that!! Thank you so much; definitely will order from you again!

Good quality and sturdy belt. The leather is not too stiff which is, in my view, great! The only problem or issue that I have with it is that there is only one loop to hold the belt after buckling. So piece of it sticks out straight and this feels uncomfortable. There should be two loops to hold the extruding belt. I gave it 4 stars because of the small discomfort.

Thickness, protection, stiffness, weightlifting belt

I was the person that though I never needed a weight lifting belt because they felt uncomfortable and simply thought I would never need one. I was dead wrong. I severely injured my lower back while dead lifting with bad form and was out of training for about 6 weeks. After I was able to lift again I decided to buy this belt due to its high ratings and reasonable price. After i used it for the first time I instantly wished I had bought it sooner. The belt is awesome! It provides great support and really helps with you lifting form. I mainly use it for squats and dead lift. I can lift a lot more weight and feel my form a lot better than before. This belt is so comfortable and very durable. I can already tell it will last me a long time. Do yourself a favor and buy this belt. Your back will thank you for it. Trust me!

Solid product, looks like it could lift the weight by itself
