IBRO Powerlifting Lever Gym Belt – Power 8MM, 10MM or 13MM Extreme Heavy Duty Genuine Leather Belts - Squats Deadlifts Bodybuilding Weight Lifting IPF Power Lifting Strongman for Men

I would consider myself to be a fairly advanced lifter. Compared to the average Joe I have a relatively high PR with my top 3 totaling over 1400 pounds. While I’m sure there are better quality belts out there I just admit if you dial this one in right and only use it when you need it I find it to be perfect for me. I’m 240 pounds, 5, 10” on the sticky side and I don’t the XL size offers the perfect range of adjustability to fit my needs. Its thickness offers good support and the clamp is sturdy and so far holds strong even with 500 pounds on my back. Always remember these are never supposed to be comfortable if used correctly so I wouldn’t factor that into your choice but even being a relatively advanced lifter this things functions perfectly.

Great support! You can feel safe and confident that you’re protected. Quality of belt is great and was easy to assemble! Very happy that I was able to do my squats and other leg exercises without any problems. Would definitely recommend this belt. Honestly everything about this belt is great!

Heavy duty construction. Only negative is that it is sometimes a little difficult to disengage the clasp.

this belt is a great buy with standard kick over buckle that belts twice the price have. as long as your squats are 400 lbs or less this 8mm belt is all you should need.

It's good and I would buy it again

I will be 70 within two months and have been weightlifting since I was 20. Based on this experience, the IBRO weightlifting belt is by far the best belt I have ever used in nearly 50 years of training. The quality of the leather is great, and it feels good around the waist. I recommend this belt without hesitation!

Belt showed up full of mold…. Appeared to be brand new still in the original packaging but covered in mold

The name is weird but the product is solid. I don’t see the purpose in investing in expensive lifting equipment until you’re getting into true powerlifting territory and your squats and DLs exceed 500 lbs - that’s where the best quality might matter due to the extended stress that kind of weight puts on your straps, belts, etc. that being said, my current squat is around 380 for a max and my latest PR for DL is 425 lbs.This belt feels like a major upgrade over my basic $25 belt I got from the E26 or whatever that brand is, which is a great brand and helped me feel secure with an adjustable Velcro strap style belt. But once I got to the 3+ plate territory I felt like that belt was maybe a bit undeserving. So I got this IBRO belt. The name is kinda weird but it feels a lot stronger and helps me stay composed during heavy squats and deadlifts where my older belt didn’t.I highly recommend this for anyone that’s graduating from the beginner level lifting to intermediate and want to be cost conscious without getting a trash product. I imagine that if I add another 100-200 lbs to my squat and deadlift I may eventually consider an even greater quality belt. But for now, with where I’m at, this belt is serving me very well.
