Master of Muscle Workout Weight Lifting Belt for Men and Women – Contoured and Neoprene Lightweight for Comfortable Back Support - Ideal for Squat, Powerlifting, Deadlift Training

Updated**********Had an injury that sidelined me for about 6 months. Finally getting back into the gym and strapped the belt on and after 2-4 reps the belt was failing. The velcro on these needs to be heavier duty. Shopping for a new belt and won't be getting one with velcro.Been using this belt for a little while now. Didn't think a belt made that much of a difference, but it really does. I feel much more stable and safe. I have lower back issues so feeling stable is important to me. Customer service is top notch. I got the large originally which was to big. They sent me a medium very quick. After about 6 weeks the Velcro started to fail and I couldn't push out against the belt to create pressure without the Velcro letting go. I sent them a message and they sent me a new one right away. The sizing guide runs big. If you are close to the bottom of the larger size, go with the smaller one.

Great for back and core muscle support.

**old review**It is uncomfortable to wear as is, here is a tip: use a scissor and remove all the tough outer parts (red lining) and it won't hurt your stomach as much. If unmondified I don't see how this could be useful at the gym or during lifting at work.**new review**bumped 1 star up due to excellent customer service. I mentioned what was wrong with it and they responded, were transparent and guaranteed my satisfaction. As a customer, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I initially bought these straps for work because I was stocking shelves at a supermarket which required constant dynamic motion. If you buy these straps for working out at a gym as they're intended, maybe you wouldn't have to modify it like I did.

The belt itself is comfortable and with the Velcro strap & buckle enclosure, it's very easy to get on and off as well as adjust tension. The customer service experience has been outstanding. Not only do you get a pdf of a very comprehensive workout system, but you also get a couple follow up emails just making sure you're happy with the product. I can 100% endorse this belt.

I have a bad back and needed a belt when I lift things up and put them down. The sizing I think is ok but because of the way the product image is, you would assume that the ends of the belt should overlap. They don't. The velcro strap bridges the gap. Is that ok for a weight belt? I don't know. It's my first time using one of these. Maybe if I was a serious bodybuilder who curls my own weight I would have gotten a heavy leather belt that secures with a buckle. But for my purposes they do the job.

I have been using this product for almost a month now. I hurt my back doing dead-lifts, and after recovery I decided to buy this item to give my back some support and hopefully prevent long term damage (which considering all the stupid stuff I do in the gym probably will happen anyway). The product works fairly well giving my back nice firm support for lifts, but sometimes when I am about to pick up or put down the barbell, it will come undone because the velcro straps are a bit weak,. This can be frustrating when using high weights because I will have to stop my routine. That being said, this has only happened a handful of times and most of the time this item is great and comfortable.

Updated the stars from 1 to 3 because of excellent customer service. Although this belt is horrible, the customer service is great and they attempted to resolve my issue.The first one I recieved, a Large, was way too small. Ordered an XL and it came already opened and out of the package, but was way too big and wouldn't adjust down any further to make it tight. I could pass a bible between the belt and stomach at its tightest, while the Large would only wrap to my sides. The velcro is also pretty horrible as well, maybe due to the possibility of it being used and sold as new. The velcro was not strong at all compared to other similar belts, so imagine it not holding up too long with daily usage in the gym. I took a risk by buying a cheap belt, but will not be doing that again. Do not recommend it for daily use due to the poor velco and adjustments. Only way I could get it to fit snug was to put on 3 layers of clothes, a sweater, jacket and coat.

fast shipping it's really helpful and comfortable.

First, two negatives: this belt doesn't provide as much support as a thick leather "traditional" belt, and it's quite a bit wider than I expected from the pictures - it's more than 6 inches tall at the rear, so it really occupies a lot of my back.But neither of those are serious problems for me. For the vast majority of my lifting, I just want some light support - I want to be sure it's me lifting the weight, not relying on the belt. This belt provides exactly that, while being comfortable enough to wear for the full session. The velcro fastening is every bit as convenient as I had hoped, dead easy to quickly loosen and tighten between sets. And because the belt is flexible and comfortable, the width isn't a problem at all.I would say be careful on the sizing - I'm a 34" waist, and the "medium" (29-35") is okay at its *tightest* setting for me. Ignore the instructions to measure around your waist, because that's not where you wear it! If in doubt, I would say buy a size smaller than you think.

When looking for belts I wondered whether to get a leather traditional belt, or a fabric/velcro like this. After having used both I can tell you this is infinitely better than the traditional weight lifting belt.Leather belts are unforgiving and can dig into the skin on certain exercises, they also have the usual belt holes and hooks so if you find one setting is too tight, and the other too loose then you either have to carve your own holes or live with it! They're also not very breathable and just very tough in general.This belt on the other hand is brilliant, the velcro holds like a champion. You can find the fit perfect for you and readjust slightly if necessary. For me it takes much less time to get on and not only that, much easier to carry than the normal belts. This is very light weight and folds neater than other leather belts I have tried, folding straight into my gym bag!Great price, and its work brilliant for me!

This is a great belt. I've had if for about 2 weeks and it is much better than most other belts I have bought. Some other belts failed fully provide the support I need for my lower back (i've had to supplement the use of these belts by placing a wrapped towel between the belt and my lower back for additional support). I've suffered from herniated discs in the past because of the lack of support from those belts, but this one has given me full confidence and I can lift heavy again. The only reason I haven't given it 5 out of 5 is because I've only had it for 2 weeks so I can't comment on its long-term durability. But I have no doubt it will do well for me for a long time.

Okay as a belt, I bought this because I am not a fan of the huge leather belts and I do not require one. I lift heavyish, but deadlift is only 140kg. I simply bought this as a bit of extra support as I have had back problems in the past which are aggravated with strenuous exercise, but equally that can be lower weight but increased volume. My problem with this though is the velcro, I use this very tightly, as tight as I would use a belt if it were a buckle, however the velcro can often undo itself mid lift. This is then just annoying and makes me throw the belt off out of rage and then carry on lifting, might be good as it gets me riled up to smash out those last few reps!If you're going to use this casually just and not too tightly, this would be great, however for me it is now used very infrequently!

Great belt, very easy to put on and off between different exercises. Gives my lower back really good support and is very easy to adjust.I would 100% recommend this belt to anyone with lower back issues.Delivery was quick.
