Starting Strength Weight Lifting Belt for Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Gym Workouts, Men and Women

Proper back positioning is crucial when weight training, powerlifting, or performing heavy compound lifts like the squat, press, and deadlift, as it helps prevent injury. During a lift, the spine is held in place by tightening the core muscles to avoid movement. As the loads increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain sufficient tension to keep the back in the correct position. A proper weight lifting belt can provide greater tension by preventing the core muscles from expanding outward when contracted for the lift, allowing heavier loads to be lifted safely.

A weight lifting belt should be worn across the belly, above the hips and below the ribcage, and tightened until slightly uncomfortable. During the lift, you should tighten your core muscles as usual, but avoid "pushing" against the belt. If the belt moves during the lift, it is either too loose or in the wrong position.

The Dominion Strength Training belt is made from high-quality top grain sole bend cow leather, ensuring it will last a lifetime even with frequent, heavy use. Lower quality belts are typically made from split leather, which can stretch and is much less durable. While other high-quality belts are often made to order, taking 6-12 weeks and costing significantly more, the 3-inch Dominion belt is a great option for both men and women, providing excellent support without being too stiff or bulky.

Dominion Strength Training offers a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee on their belts, which are virtually indestructible. If you manage to damage one of their belts for any reason, you can contact them for a hassle-free replacement, no questions asked. The Official Starting Strength Belt is designed for heavy powerlifting and weight training, including the squat, press, bench press, and deadlift, and is built to withstand a lifetime of abuse in the gym.

The 3-inch leather lifting belt is a great addition to any weight training workout, as it provides excellent support without being too stiff or bulky. The belt is fully adjustable, with 11 holes spaced 1 inch apart, providing 10 inches of adjustability to ensure a perfect fit even if your waist size changes. Designed to the standards of Starting Strength, these belts are made by hand in the USA, with years of weight training experience influencing every aspect of the design.
