The Best Budget Belts For Powerlifting | Powerlifting Budget 

thanks

Correct. I started off the video by mentioning the most expensive belts out there to set the reference point and then mentioned the budget belts that cost 75 pound to 100 pound. Every product out there is going to have a different price for what's "budget" based on what the most expensive options are. How much are you trying to spend on a belt?

Nice, I’ll have to look into that!

Do you have a link ?

@@CoachArian thanks coach ❤️💕

Jeez, which country do you live in?!

@@CoachArian Belgium, I tried ordering deadlifting socks from there and it would have costed me $100+

@@Zalheide Haha, crazy. Have you looked into distributors? It looks like Titan has distributors in Austria, Netherlands, UK, and more. titansupport.com/dealers/#1468834888521-3e1e295e-ce19 Some of them, like the one in Austria, sell Inzer and SBD belts as well. SBD also has a retailer in Belgium. sbdbelgium.be/

I tried to provide as much information as I could in the video so lifters could decide which option is best for them for their situation. So you might know better than me what would work best for you. For me, I always used the 10 mm Inzer belt and it works great.

@@CoachArian yep thanks I wrote the comment half way threw the vid and forgot to delete it after having all the answers provided in the vid ! I’m gonna go for the Rogue Ohio premium buckle belt in 10mm I believe. Have you heard anything about it or tried it yourself ?

Their site doesn't really give any info about the belts or any detailed photos so I don't know. Maybe it's just the looks that get people.

I have a video going over the best knee sleeves you should look into ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Su1zh4ISZ8.html

So you don’t have access to any of the better known brands? If not, then it sounds like you just have to wait until the issues are resolved.

That's great! If you found a belt you like and it's approved for the meets you compete in, then you're all set.

How is the belt right now? I'm thinking of buying one

@@kevinmartinez5430 it's good, i once you find the perfect size on the screws it's really easy to use and it's stopped me throwing my back out quite a bit

Which belt is it?

did you get the lever one?

Yea, inflation is killer. People gotta buy before prices keep going up.

Well, my question back would be is there a reason why you're looking into getting the Lifting Large belt over say the Inzer belt?

@@CoachArian well both are ipf approved but lifting large is cheaper and has a better size range

@@rpe10 yea, it's $30 more but I see a couple of possible benefits to that extra price. One, it has a lifetime warranty vs a 1-year warranty. And two, I'm more confident in Inzer staying IPF approved over the years. But it's up to each individual what kind of importance they want to place on those things, on sizing, and how much they want to save on an item that'll last a long time. I've had my Inzer belt for 10 years now and still does its job.

Which fed do you compete in?

@@CoachArian I do not compete at all but I’m a decently high level lifter for a 16 year old

@@willmeyer8984 Oh okay. It seems like the same as any other lever belt. They all may even be made in the same facility. So you could pay $120 for that or just pay $97 for Inzer.

The prices and availability have changed some lately. So you have to see which brand has your size available, do they have the color you want, do you want lever or prong, do they ship to where you live, how much they cost, and those kinds of things to figure out which one to go with. It also looks like Stoic is real leather and Strengthshop is artificial leather if you care about that.

@@CoachArian both brands are available in the sizes and colours which i want in the lever belt, just wanted your opinion as you are experienced enough and it will be my first time buying a lever belt. Also I've heard real leather belts are better than artificial leather but still confused as both have similar pricing $102 stoic and $95 strengthshop. Thanks. Do let me know which one would you suggest.

There are other sites, like Amazon, where you can get an Inzer much faster than getting it directly from the manufacturer. As far as other specific belts, there are thousands of random brands out there so I can't see/try them all out. So you have to do your own research. If you aren't looking for IPF approved, don't have a lot of options, and want something cheap, then it'll probably be fine. All these random companies get the same belt from the same manufacturer and then just throw their own brand logo on it to sell. So they're all about the same quality and it just depends on how much they can sell it for depending on their marketing skills.

They're going to be quite similar. Personally, I have an Inzer 10mm and like it. But you may want to look at the price for both and shipping time for both in your area to see which is a better deal.

What are your belts?

@@shlomoivry1673 and what if I say negative things about the belts?

If they're things that aren't necessarily bad but it's just not your preference, but it should be an overall advertisement

@@shlomoivry1673 oh okay, no thanks then. I'm not looking to advertising something I may not like.

Hawk sports isn't IPF approved. If they're claiming that, then they're lying. You won't be able to wear it at any IPF competitions. www.powerlifting.sport/fileadmin/ipf/data/rules/approved-list/Approved__List_2019-2022_Final.pdf

In the post it said that the belt is designed according to the powerlifting standarts and that it is ideal IPF powerlifting belt, but leaving that aside do you think that it is still a good option for lifting in general?

@@gonzabl225 if you aren't looking for IPF approved, don't have a lot of options, and want something cheap, then it'll probably be fine.

Buying one of which for 40? And were you able to watch the full video to see which ones I think are worth buying?

For someone just 5 months in, I'd say it's not necessary. Continue focusing on training consistently, honing in your technique, getting stronger, and putting on more muscle. Maybe after a year or 2 of doing that, you can look into getting a belt if you want to go heavier or compete in powerlifting. And I'd recommend picking one of the belts I mention in this video as they're going to be good quality and long-lasting. Good luck!

A belt doesn't necessarily increase safety. Injuries can happen for a variety of reasons like technique, too much fatigue, a prior injury, too much intensity, and more. So you want to monitor those things regardless of whether you're trying to deadlift with a belt or not.

@@CoachArian does lifting with a belt just feel better?

@@soundsoul4796 It lets you lift more weight. For people who compete in powerlifting, that's the #1 goal so almost all of them wear a belt for squat and deadlift.

@@CoachArian fr i thought it just helped u brace

@@soundsoul4796 a more efficient brace and an increase in intra-abdominal pressure will allow you to lift more weight.

Haha, what's up

The leather belt appears to be very similar. I'm just not sure about the lever but it does come with a 1-year warranty.

It looks like a cheaper version of the Inzer 10 mm belt. Not IPF approved. No warranty. And it looks like they have a few bad Amazon reviews about the buckle being cheap and breaking easily. To a certain degree, you get what you pay for and I wouldn't recommend it.

💪💪💪

They aren't IPF approved. I believe they were and some lifters liked their 3" belts but then they didn't renew the IPF approval for the next term.

@@CoachArian thanks

@@robertwegner9086 No problem. I'm sure they're good quality and great belts. But they're basically the same specs, same colors, and similar price as some of the other options out there but don't have the IPF approval.

Each company sizes its belts differently. So you should first figure out which brand belt you want, then go to their site to take a look at their sizing chart and see what's the right size for you. You should also consider whether you plan on going up or down in weight in the coming years.

If you aren't looking to compete and already own the belt, then keep using the belt.

I don't know, I've never seen one before. My guess would be they're similar quality to other belts that are the same type and price.

Have you looked at liftinglarge.com?
