lifting belt recommendations

[Carmen]

its time to get a new lifting belt. lets not go into what happened to my old one, although it was by FAR the prettiest lifting belt you ever saw. pink suade and it had my name embroidered in big black lettering on the back. and i have a long name.

anyway, i know i need single prong. my last one was double and i had to look in the mirror to get it buckled. Pain in the butt.

so i'll probably just get an inzer belt. in either pink again (which insures that no guy will steal it) or red, which matches my crains wraps.
here's my decision though:
http://www.inzernet.com/search_resu...aramVen=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch&iLevel=1
I'm considering either the red one on the page, or the less expensive purple one that's narrower. I'm short waisted, so i don't have a lot of room at my ribcage and standard belts seem to fit me like a corset. but maybe its silly to spend all that money and only get the little bodybuilder one (i'm a powerlifter) and i should just get used to the bruises on my ribcage and shut up.
what do you think?

babydoll... please read my post. thats the same link i posted, dorkbutt.

[Devastation]

lol oops, i got too excited and didn't finish reading the post. i wouldn't get a tapered one if i were you, but i'm not so it's ultimately up to you. i do know next belt i get will be a lever belt tho

 

[Scotsman]

Get the belt that you feel you most need. If you want better support get the standard. If you want comfort get the narrower one. I have the big two prong 13mm belt. Leaves some nice bruises when I do the strongman stuff.

ok, check out my belt now- its a top of the line. tell me this isn't the prettiest thing you've ever seen:

devastation, i dont' want a lever- i like the option of easily loosening it or tightening it, depending on what i'm doing, my weight, and the water retention situation.
scotsman, you know i compete, although probably just in bench for a while where i wouldn't need the full size one, just something to keep my shirt in place and for deadlift training. hmmm...

Well I have an aversion to pink so my opinion is very biased here. As long as you think it is the prettiest thing ever than it must be .

Unless you plan on competing in squat and dead then no need for the big comp belt.

i like schiek

 

[Devastation]

she's going to compete

 

[Devastation]

[Carmen]

lol...

devastation, i sprained my back last year so badly that they thought i had a spinal infection.
i can't squat, and my deadlift shot back down to about a 225 max at the moment, so it'll be a while before i pull in competition, if ever.
but since my bench has taken off, i'll stick to that.

dial_tone: you suck. lol

eatbig: what?

scotsman: you love pink and you know it. that belt is purty. but i think i'll get a red one to match my hair. if you can't lift heavy, at least i can match.

 

[Carmen]

don't encourage him!

Am I the only person on this board that likes the lever belt?

no, if you read up you'll see that devastation likes it too- a lot of guys do. i prefer single prong though.

first thing i would do is whip out a beard trimmer.. i know you'd be shaking at the thought and then i'd bite your kneecap (cause i'm not that tall)
while you were cowering in fear and when you bent down to touch your knee, i'd clobber you on the head.
see, i've got a plan.

[Lumberg]

anyway, i know i need single prong.

I am ready and available.

Seriously though, the short answer is dont' use one. Since you are a Pler I am assuming you only need it for 1-2RMs on squats and maybe DLs, in which case I think there is a company called Carrillo or something that makes some AWESOME belts.

the belt should be used most of the time if you use it properly..
its also used to hold your bench shirt in place when benching
cardillo is a lot more money than inzer and they are pretty much the same thing

 

[Lumberg]

http://www.cardillousa.com/belt-images/410GL.gif
available in any color, embroidered, and single prong--$95 base price

http://www.cardillousa.com/belt-images/410_3.gif
$105 base price

http://www.cardillousa.com/weight-belts/power-line.html

Add 30% to the price and you can get any extra customizations you want--color, embroidering, padding, single prong....

[Lumberg]

Check this one out:

http://www.cardillousa.com/belt-images/120.gif

Only $30 base price. No colors available, but basically for $40 you could get it embroidered.

cardillo
i need one for deadlifts and for benching to hold my shirt down and for a few other max lifts. i have a bad back- i should really wear it for dumbell rows too.
cardillo belts are good too, but inzers are just as good and slightly cheaper and i might get a discount. well, i kinda know i do.

 

[Dial_tone]

anyway, i know i need single dong.
what do you think?

Should I say in front of all these people?

 

[Madcow2]

I have an Inzer lever. Once it's setup, very easy to get bucked correctly each time and quick to release. This is a plus in the gym or competition between lifts. You don't want to waste energy or breath dealing with your belt. Issues would be if your weight fluctuates, you switch between thin or thick clothes <like throwing on a sweatshit one day and a T the next>, or for some reason find yourself between notches consistently - it can be a serious pain since you need a screw driver to move the hardware. All that said, I do get some solid rib bruises and since I'm not competing now I'd likely opt for a more comfortable belt and save this one for closer to competion or periods where I'm planning on lifting big (none in sight). Take from that what you will.

ok, thanks... that did help. i've decided to get the narrower, more comfortable belt, single prong (not DONG dial tone!)

 

[Lumberg]

did you see my links baby? they have belts for like $30
or like $65 I think for suede

Yeah, I must admit that I also have a lot to offer BELOW the waist as well, and while I would argue that my top half is better, I can see why you like the bottom.

 

[Carmen]

well after your last avatar, i was pretty sure your bottom half was female.
