Gunsmith Fitness Weight Lifting Belt – Shibusa Genuine Leather Handmade Back Support Lifting Belts for Men & Women – Bodybuilding, Squats & Powerlifting Belt

This is the first weight lifting belt i have owned to assist with my Squats, Deadlift and OHP. From the very first use i smashed PB's on all of my lifts. I'd previously been using some cheap double pronged belts lying around my gym and soon found these irritating to put on and take off which prompted me to opt for the single prong design, and I'm so glad I did. The leather is soft and supple so doesn't require breaking in as such, the branding is subtle but classy and the fit is perfect.I was sceptical that this product could not possibly be handmade at this price point, however, the Mother who has been a dressmaker for the majority of her life said, because of its simple design and slight handmade imperfections, it's very likely that it's handmade.

This belt is very heavy and of great quality my son loves it. Definitely recommend this to a serious lifter

Need to break it in but initially feels comfortable and supportive.Without giving it a use I am more than happy with the quality however the 2 points below need to be taken into account before ordering:1 - This is single prong2 - I should have gone for the XL but L does fit, just at the last notch. Up on checking this belt on the manufacturers website, I have included their sizing criteria for this specific belt. There is some deviation.Over all though, belt it much better quality than I anticipated. And I love the look of it; not garish.

Although this is my first lifting belt, I feel like this is great value for money. It really enables me to ensure I'm keeping good form when I'm lifting. I only use it for Squats and deadlifting and I can see it lasting a long time.Surprised by how comfortable it is, considering how sturdy it is too.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a belt, particularly for powerlifting.Tip for sizing: Measure around your body from your naval/bellybutton. DO NOT breathe in or out or try to squeeze in your stomach, just measure in a natural, relaxed position.I measure at about 33/34" and a Large fits very well, I buckle up around the middle notches.

When I was looking to buy a belt, this one jumped out. I liked the looked and the logo wasn't too imposing which is always a plus! Most importantly though, this one does the job it is supposed to and I have noticed my rep numbers in squats, deadlifts and military presses have all increased when wearing this. This is due to the support it gives in the back and abdominal regions just as it should do. Another big plus is that is ready to go soft leather so while you it gives the necessary support it does give you flexibility between sets. I opted for the single prong option, nice and easy to get off with no embarrassing struggles in the gym to free yourself of it while others gawp! A great, well made product which I would highly recommend to anyone.

The media could not be loaded. I have previously tried on a new conditioned belt and it was stiff and good condition. This arrived in terrible condition. Dirty and used!!

Very well put together belt, feels sturdy. Only complaint is I don't have much adjustment room as I am at the second tightest notch. I had a very experienced lifter ask to borrow my belt as he'd forgotten his. It was a tad big for him unfortunately, however he complimented the quality of the belt and was shocked when I told him the price. Considering getting a lever version in a size down

The material and support of this product is really good. It is well built and is adjustable to whatever degree you need it to. The support it provides for your core and whilst you’re bracing allows you to comfortably squat, deadlift or exercise without pain.The locking mechanism is a little different to a more typical belt and takes awhile to get use to.If you’re familiar with this style of mechanism than it’s a great 4.5 in rating but for me, I could t justify it for how long it took me to get use to it.Great colour though and looks really nice .
