Training with a lifting belt

[quadsofsteel]

Wasn't sure where to put this....

I'm going to start doing my heavy squats and deadlifts with a lifting belt. Im trying to find one online and the website is selling 6'' and 4'' sizes around the lower back. Which is better? More comfortable? more effective, etc? I could imagine the 6'' being more supportive but more uncomfortable. Anybody?

I'm also unsure of a good brand to buy. Im looking for a good quality that will last without something dumb happening like the buckle breaking. Thanks

Some of the 6 inch ones are so massive normal people can't even wear it on the smallest setting, check the length for waist size. I saw one sitting in the corner of my gym and though "score! I'll borrow that for today!" until I tried it and could have better used it for a hula hoop... And my waste is a bit larger than most

I bought a six inch and had to poke holes in it to make it fit.....
