Weightlifting Belt with Flexible Ultra-light Foam Core, 5-Inch

I bought this after a solid hour of looking at reviews for this belt and many others, because I really wanted to find the perfect belt. I recommend sizing up, because I'm a Small on the chart but I ordered a Medium, which works perfectly. I think a Small wouldn't have had enough support in the front. Before buying this, I used my friend's thick leather lifting belt, so I wasn't sure if this soft foam core would be enough support. But, when I lifted with it, it worked perfectly and the support was definitely enough. It allowed me to add 30 lbs to my back squat PR, and I don't feel like I have to worry about straining my back when I'm wearing this. Wearing it allows me to focus on other aspects of my lifting, such as my breathing and form/technique.

The 5 inch weight belt is a perfect comprise between the 4 inch belt and the larger 8 inch belt (with high back). It offers complete support and more flexibility. Harbinger products are study, well made and very durable, they retail their original shape and provide maximum support. Can't go wrong with this weight belt.

For the price you can't beat this product, it has been useful for years and price so right that when it's time to get another one there's no fret

Good material and does the job well

In regards to the size, it fits well. I'm a 32 but can fit into nearly anything 28-33. Judging by how much is left on the belt, I would say that anyone up to about a 36 could wear this.I've had a few back injuries over the past few years. More recently, I strained a lumbar in my lower back while squatting about a month and a half ago. Naturally, I decided that I needed to finally protect myself more while lifting.After taking a month off, I was able to return to the weights (mainly powerlifting) almost as if I had never left. My lifts only tapered a little (10 pounds), and after two weeks of wearing the belt, I feel much more confident and compact - especially in my core - while lifting.

I would recommend Harbinger belts like this one to anyone! But I thought it might be helpful if I let you be aware you should consider your height when purchasing a belt.I love my Medium Harbinger 5-Inch width belt and I will use it whenever I have heavy front squats, back squats, overhead squats and hang cleans.BUT when I deadlift... I prefer the 4" as opposed to the 5" because it digs in just a bit. I am 5'11.5" (6' with shoes) my friend who is 5'6" says the same thing but he uses the 4" for all that stuff and prefers a 3" belt for deadlifts. My waist is 33, my friend's waist is 30... we both have the medium belt but because we are different heights we choose different belt widths.so to give you a rough guide:UNDER 5'6" Just the 3" Harbinger Belt should work perfectly.5'6"-5'9.5" it's iffy (perhaps have both like my buddy does or just buy the 3" as your universal belt)5'9.5"-5'11" Just the 4" Harbinger Belt should work perfectly.5'11"-6'1" it's iffy (perhaps use both 4" and 5" like I do or Just buy the 4" as your universal belt)OVER 6'1" Just the 5" Harbinger Belt should work perfectly.Personally I am okay owning both the 4" and 5"WHY AM I OKAY WITH OWNING 2 LIFTING BELTS? Because I want the full wall of support for heavy squats which the 5" gives me but for Dead lifts and Power Cleans (when I am picking up from the ground) a slightly smaller 4" belt gives me maximum support without getting in my way. I could get away with either belt but I would have some give and take on different lifts. I am sure the 4" would give me decent enough support for the squats but because I don't want an injury I have both.My last word of advice is to prevent injury: "Use a belt any time you go over 70% of your max! But DO NOT use a belt any lighter than that."GOOD LUCK!

Quality product that is comfortable to wear and offers a sound amount of support. Regarding sizing, I hover between a 32-inch and 34-inch waist, and decided to go with a size medium. Quite honestly, i think i would probably go for a large next time. When tightened fully for lifting, the belt barely covers a third of the Velcro. When loosened between sets, i'm able to use only around an inch of the Velcro. This doesn't affect the functionality, but i'm just wondering if i would have been closer to sitting in the middle of the adjustable range with a large size instead of a medium.

Very comfortable and supportive belt for when I work out, I prefer foam belts to leather since they contour with the body much more effectively than a leather when going through your range of motion during an exercise.My only complaint is I wish they had a size reference chart since in the gym I generally use Medium size leather belts I opted for medium when I purchased this. I have to cinch down pretty good on 34-35" waist line to ensure the velcro holds firmly during squats and other variations of the same style of exercise.

L'essayer c'est l'adopter !Ceinture de bonne qualité, Pratique et facile d'entretien ! Perso je l'ai pris pour le crossfit et elle est top!

With many belts by other brands, even size small is to big for size S women. This one is perfect. I'm very happy I bought it. The product itself is very good quality, the velcro is strong but easy to loosen up quickly between sets of squats for example. I'd recommend it to anyone.

届いた時にマジックテープの強度が弱い感じがし、返品しようかと思ったが、値段のことを考えたらめんどくさく我慢した。三年以上経った今でも問題なく、しっかりホールドもされ、むしろ重宝してます！

Hatte leider übersehen, dass der Gürtel aus dem Ausland zugesandt wird, hat etwa drei Wochen gedauert. Aber die Warterei hat sich gelohnt, ich bin froh darüber, ihn gekauft zu haben. Sehr robust und nicht so starr wie ein Ledergürtel, wirkt er unterstützend bei Übungen wie z.B. Kreuzheben oder Kniebeugen. Die Gewichte konnte ich dadurch auch schon steigern. Ich bin froh, den Gürtel gekauft zu haben und kann ihn nur empfehlen.

Ich betreibe jetzt seit vier Jahren Bodybuilding und hatte bis jetzt immer einen Gürtel aus Leder.Ich war zunächst sehr skeptisch, aber nach den ersten Trainingseinheiten, weine ich dem altem Gürtel keine Träne hinterher.Dieser Gürtel hier ist sehr leicht +man kann ihn wirklich eng ziehen und muss nicht schauen ob man es noch gerade so in das nächste Loch schafft.Squats (180KG) + Deadlifts ( 200Kg) hat der Gürtel ohne auch nur den Anschein zu machen der Klettverschluss würde aufgehen bestanden!Klare Kaufempfehlung!
