Gunsmith Fitness Weight Lifting Belt – Shibusa Genuine Leather Handmade Back Support Lifting Belts for Men & Women – Bodybuilding, Squats & Powerlifting Belt

The waist of my time. I've got the belt, 10 minutes later raised the return process. It's very thick and not from soft material. It is easy to hurt yourself by sharpness internal edges of the belt. It's also couldn't be closed securely because of the lever lock mechanism.1. The steel lever is very flimsy. It can't be closed securely and was self-opened after 1 minute. When it's closing it produces the noise 'steel-to-steel'2. The internal edges of the belt are very sharp - so I felt them immediately. I don't know what was "handmade" but it definitely could hurt.3. The leather is very thin and it's a piece of leather. Interlan layers are definitely not the lather. It looks like a paper, i don't know.4. I bought the size "L" - my waist is 35. However, it's suitable for the size of 'XL'.

Need to break it in but initially feels comfortable and supportive.Without giving it a use I am more than happy with the quality however the 2 points below need to be taken into account before ordering:1 - This is single prong2 - I should have gone for the XL but L does fit, just at the last notch. Up on checking this belt on the manufacturers website, I have included their sizing criteria for this specific belt. There is some deviation.Over all though, belt it much better quality than I anticipated. And I love the look of it; not garish.

Although this is my first lifting belt, I feel like this is great value for money. It really enables me to ensure I'm keeping good form when I'm lifting. I only use it for Squats and deadlifting and I can see it lasting a long time.Surprised by how comfortable it is, considering how sturdy it is too.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a belt, particularly for powerlifting.Tip for sizing: Measure around your body from your naval/bellybutton. DO NOT breathe in or out or try to squeeze in your stomach, just measure in a natural, relaxed position.I measure at about 33/34" and a Large fits very well, I buckle up around the middle notches.

This is a tough bit of kit. Good solid construction, the belt is nice and supple, but the best thing is the buckle. It feels like it's properly cast and solid. I've read some reviews of other belts with weak buckles, this is not one of them. I train with a few semi-pro power lifters and they were impressed by the build quality and the price, as they use imported Inzer belts and they felt it was of equal quality.My only personal gripe is the branding is a bit Bro Force. But that is a personal preference and I'm not knocking a star off for that.

When I was looking to buy a belt, this one jumped out. I liked the looked and the logo wasn't too imposing which is always a plus! Most importantly though, this one does the job it is supposed to and I have noticed my rep numbers in squats, deadlifts and military presses have all increased when wearing this. This is due to the support it gives in the back and abdominal regions just as it should do. Another big plus is that is ready to go soft leather so while you it gives the necessary support it does give you flexibility between sets. I opted for the single prong option, nice and easy to get off with no embarrassing struggles in the gym to free yourself of it while others gawp! A great, well made product which I would highly recommend to anyone.

This is the first weight lifting belt i have owned to assist with my Squats, Deadlift and OHP. From the very first use i smashed PB's on all of my lifts. I'd previously been using some cheap double pronged belts lying around my gym and soon found these irritating to put on and take off which prompted me to opt for the single prong design, and I'm so glad I did. The leather is soft and supple so doesn't require breaking in as such, the branding is subtle but classy and the fit is perfect.I was sceptical that this product could not possibly be handmade at this price point, however, the Mother who has been a dressmaker for the majority of her life said, because of its simple design and slight handmade imperfections, it's very likely that it's handmade.

The 4 metal bars of the clasps do not align with the holes. Highly difficult to lock in and impossible to remove.It's as if the template they use to cut the holes in the leather has not been aligned properly.No way this was tested to see if it functions before being sold as it would fail.Other than that the quality of the materials seems good.

Will not stretch under load, squatting at the level of 150kg (330lb) will be well supported by this belt.Soft at edges so fits without rubbing. Looks cool.I am 37 or 38 jeans waist, size "L" fits well, with 3 or 4 holes to spare.
