When it comes to selecting a weightlifting belt, there are a few key factors to consider.
Belt Material
First, think about the material. Leather belts offer rigidity and support, ideal for heavy lifts like squats and deadlifts. On the other hand, nylon belts are more flexible and comfortable, suitable for dynamic movements often found in CrossFit. If this s your first belt, go with a nylon belt that is more comfortable and versatile.
Locking Mechanism
The locking mechanism is another consideration. Lever belts provide a secure and consistent fit but are less adjustable on the fly. Velcro belts allow for quick adjustments between sets, making them convenient for varied workouts. If you go with a Velcro belt, look for a belt with a locking buckle, so that the belt doesn't come off mid lift.
Comfort Matters
Comfort is crucial; the belt should fit snugly without digging into your sides. Make sure to choose a belt that matches your waist size and offers the right thickness for your needs.
Belt Sizes
Sizing is another important aspect. It's essential to choose a belt that fits your body. Our weight lifting belt comes in a range of sizes and features an adjustable design to accommodate different waist measurements.
Belt Thickness
The thickness of the belt also plays a role. 10mm or less would be perfect to start off. A thinner belt may offer more comfort and flexibility, while a thicker belt provides maximum support. Be sure to check out our size chart to find the perfect fit.
