Harbinger Gym Weightlifting Belt

Product is excellent as its durable, comfortable and fits properly. This 4 inch width lifting belt fits better than the Harbinger 6 inch wide belt and does not ride up too high on your back as the 6 inch can. The 4 inch width allows you to be supported but not overly supported and thus avoids making your back to rigid to lift.One important note for determining your size S, M, or L belt. The online Amazon sizing guide which displays your waist size as it relates to the belt size is completely incorrect. Ignore the inaccurate waist to belt size guide they offer and instead measure the circumference of your mid section just below your belly buttom. Go to the Harbinger site to see a better belt sizing guide, although still not accurate enough. Your mid section measurement will help you pick the right size belt. I also went to a sporting goods store to try a Harbinger medium and a large leather notched belt. I am a 31 inch waist, 165lbs, and the medium is too small with only two notches left on the belt to spare. The large fit proportionally better around my waist and more evenly supported my back (whereas the medium was not evenly proportioned or supportive). The large had a bit more extra left over notches to grow into (about 7 left over) but the belt fit much better (even though the online guide said I should be a medium)Amazon processing, and shipping service was rapid and excellent as always.

I have known lifters to get passionate about their belts and the style. For me, I have tried a few over 2 decades and this is the to which one I keep coming back. I am not a bodybuilder or powerlifter but I do lift to stay fit & I have always preferred a thick 6" belt over other styles and this one has worked well for me. They last a long time (until I forgot it at the gym which seems to happen every 2-3 years & then I need to replace it) and support my back well while providing good intra-abdominal pressure. To be sure, this is not everyone's cup of tea but you just might like this.

The media could not be loaded. I really love this belt. I was never into the whole weight lifting belt until I had a new PR and someone recommended me to get one to prevent any back injuries. It's a really good fit. It needed some getting used to and it took me a good 2 lifting sessions to break it in. Now every time I go really heavy, I use this belt and it becomes second nature for me. I do have this in my gym bag at all time. The quality of this product is really good. I have had this product for a while now and its still holding strong. I would recommend this to anyone looking to buy their first lifting belt because it is worth every money.

Does what it needs to and more. Been hitting my pr on deadlifts with it. It is slightly prickly if it rubs on you in some particular way which doesn't happen all the time but it's annoying when it does. So I couldn't give it the full 5 stars. I know it isnt intended for this but I also hang weights off of it, a 30 lb kettle weight and do dips. So it does a little more work for me. If I could, I'd give it a 4.5 star.

Fits well, supports my back while deadlifting and squatting. I don't use it every time to ensure I'm not ignoring part of my development. Great for adding weight!

Great product!

When I started weight-traing back in the 90's I had a leather belt from Weider and it served me well for many years, but I have since lost that belt and so I purchaed this belt from Harbringer becuase I had heard many good things about it. It is confortable and does provide good back support and helps with good core development. I will let you know if it last as long as my first belt, until then this piece of workout equiptment is getting off to a good start.

I ordered the Medium which I believe said was "up to 33". Not sure what brand tape measure this company used to determine size in inches for this product, but they need to return their measuring device!! I have a 30" waist and my gut around my hips are about 32" and I couldn't even touch the edge of the buckle to the edge of the opposite side of the belt. With the amount of holes punched in the belt I'm saying it's probably safe to assume that an XL would probably suit me better than the L and the M is just not even an option. Definitely buy bigger than you think you'll need and you won't have to return it like I'm going to do.3 stars only because of the sizing issue. I think I'll end up bumping it up to a 4 after I get the correct size, but we shall see
