    Best Belts Athlete Single Prong Powerlifting Belt in black! I've only ever had a Harbinger. I can't wait to receive this thing. I've read so many good reviews about the Athlete belt from them.

    When you go heavy, it can help protect you from injuries, and also help you lift more, which will help you get stronger, and is the main reason powerlifters use them. Makes a big difference. Very helpful on the heavy lifts because of the intra-abdominal pressure you can create having one on. My Harbinger has been great. This one should be amazing. 4" all the way around. It's hard to explain the difference you feel with a belt on, but once you've lifted heavy even one time with a belt on tight enough to help, you will understand.

    Thanks, I will look into it. O have been trying to get my deadlifts up lately and my biggest problem is just grip but I'm sure a belt will be worth it as well!

    Have you tried alternate grip or wrist straps?

    I've got one on order with Bobs Belts. It is scheduled to be shipped this week and I'm really looking forward to test driving it. They come highly recommended by a friend of mine.

    Yes sir, Kel told me about them; said they were of very good quality. If I recall correctly has 2, one belt is specifically for squats. I ordered one of their deadlift belts.
    Do a Google for Bobs Belts if you want to check them.out.

    Yeah I have. They look good. I may order one for my brothers birthday. He got a belt hes worn for years, but a custom one embroidered would go down a treat. Lets just hope they ship internationally! :P

    Shame they discontinued the Lever version. I quite fancy one of those myself.

    My workout partner does and it was definitely more broken in than an Inzer.

    I've got a Bob's Belt that is over 25 years old. It's still going strong. The quality is unequaled imo.

    Everything was impossible until somebody did it!

    I've got 99 problems......but my squat/dead ain't one !!

    It doesnt matter how good looking she is, some where, some one is tired of her shit.

    Light travels faster then sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    Great place to start researching ! http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...-database.html
