Yeah, no hate on those guys or their companies but I had Brandon’s belt and Inaka just to try them, it was so cheap, the metal broke on both belts squatting 500 after only a couple uses, just save your money a little longer and go with SBD. But then take it from someone out of their 20’s now who preached powerlifting is the best since 7th grade tackle football……. torn shoulder, bicep, hamstring, pec, and 4 bulging discs, powerlifting is cool until it’s not. No matter how great the form or warmup or strength, density etc….. anything can happen.
I bought a Gymreaper belt in November. It started out nice and stiff but now it honestly is as worse as the belts you would find at a dicks sporting goods. I would not recommend a Gymreaper belt
I really want to buy lifting belt but I can’t choose between SBD or katamu if any one used katamu before please tell me your experience and dose it worth it or should I get SBD
Honestly I don’t think you can beat the Cerberus strength pioneer lever belt. It has the strength durability and speed of a traditional lever belt but the flexibility in terms of how tight you make it due to having multiple prongs meaning you don’t have to redo your whole belt every time you put on or lose kilo or two during bulks and cuts.
In my personal opinion, if you looking for good quality belt without breaking bank I would say go for the Inzer powerlifting belt very good quality belt
I bought a 13mm level belt from gymreaper, shit is the thickest fookin belt ive ever seen and worn and the support is otherworldly, put it on and went from struggling to 365 to getting up 405 for perfect depth
I got the SBL belt and a few Pioneer Lever Belts. Pioneer is on par with SBL. Can’t say which one is better since I got 1 SBL and about 4 Pioneer models. Haven’t tried Inzer but maybe one day if I can borrow one
No, you dont need to soend hundreds on a good belt. Literally this video is "Dont support influencers. Support popular brands" its an oxymoron. I bought a generic unbranded belt for about $40. Its thick leather, not floppy, and makes a huge difference. You really just want to look for 4in in width across the entire belt, 10mm thick leather, and the appropriate size for your waist. Find tbose 3 things amd you’re golden, doesn’t matter the brand
Also one thing to consider if you want to compete im powerlifting are the rules of your federation. Pioneer ist ipf approved for example as far as I know
Gymreapers makes a pretty solid belt, I’ve been using mine for over a year. A part of my friends broke and they sent him a new one and it came the next day.
I’m newer to lifting and can’t do anything impressive yet but would like to learn to brace properly for compound lifts. Will people in the gym judge if they see me using a belt for 225 lb deadlifts?
If you want a cheap and good quality belt, I reconfirmed the Gymreapers lever belts
Bad form, or your a curve back puller? With that form, without belt. Your gonna crack your spine and injured yourself
Depends people like alan thrall or larry wheels belts work great

I got a inaka and it’s lasted forever
inzer forever belt. Had it for over 5 years now
SBD/Inzer/A7/even Strength Shop are the best bang for the buck AND IPF approved
The flex belt I have has been GREAT only around 50 to 60 bucks on Amazon and I’m not getting paid to say that good belt
Stoic is a good brand too. Same if not better quality than SBD but a little less.
is gymreaper good?
You’re trying to be an influencer and you’re recommending a belt. Doesn’t that make it an influencer belt?
Would you recommend RDX belts?

Bro, a belt is like 30 bucks. No one needs to buy a 200 dollar belt.
Anyone else notice how weird Justin’s grammar in these vids is?
My gymreaper leather belt has lasted me over a year, never done me wrong. Got it for like 60$
In my personal opinion, if you looking for good quality belt without breaking bank I would say go for the Inzer powerlifting belt very good quality belt
Sbd and pioneer are top tier belt
Just bought a gym reaper belt Anygood?
The golden standard that has been forgotten in bodybuilding belts is Cardillio weightlifting belts, they give them out at the Olympia for a reason
I’ve used my Pioneer for 4 years… still going strong and in great shape
Your back is arching man while doing heavy
Don’t be dissing pioneer by putting them 3rd

SBD accessories in general. Wraps sleeves etc
The SBD ones are never in stock 😭😭
That back shouldn’t look like that when lifting
Pioneer is superior to inzer
Shit that sucks is I can’t find my size 😢
what about the gorilla belt ??
Just get pioneer boys and gals
Thank you for the recommendation on AJ belts. I didnt know about this website and would love to now buy from them
Sbd over priced crap

You dont need belts
Just drop 100$ on a 10mm inzer, I’ve had mien for 6 years.

The pr belt is best cheap ish lever belt but if you have money for the sbd belt just get that one
SBD the best inzer was ok.
I have pioneer belt and love it
Form looks like shit, belt cant save that
I have a Deagle lever belt from Amazon. Super high quality and way way cheaper than getting ripped off for a 300 dollar belt
