Suede 3-inch Weightlifting Belt - Premium Powerlifting Support with Enhanced Grip Technology

I replaced a sturdy 50 year old 5" belt i bought in the 70's with this 3" one on the advice of the Starting Strength folks. So far, I used the 3" dominion during 20 training sessions. It has made a huge difference to my squat, dead lift, and press sets. Dead lift still loosens up a little when my over-sized belly is folded over during start but locks back in during "chest up". Pretty expensive, but well worth the money for the added confidence, fit and feel. IMO - this is heirloom quality gear that will last generations.

The quality of this belt is superb. The feel, the thickness, the support during squats and deadlifts, and the comfort are all amazing and justify the considerable price tag. I can see why Mark Rippetoe, founder and owner of Starting Strength, chose this company to make belts bearing Starting Strength's name. I wholeheartedly recommend this belt and surely any belt by Dominion Strength Training. And if I ever lose my belt, or if it gets damaged beyond repair (both unlikely), I would gladly buy from Dominion Strength Training again.

After deciding to start using a belt for the squat and the deadlift I had a hard time finding a 3 inch belt around. A 4 inch belt felt too long for me, harming my ability to execute the movements in a comfortable enough position. I thought of buying the Rogue Ohio but then I got a recommendation from a friend to take a look at this belt instead. After thinking for a bit I decided to try my luck and I am happy to say it doesn't run out. I bought the SM sized belt and it sits perfectly on me! I wear it a bit higher as it supports me better on my lifts. The break in time for me was around 2 weeks till it started to fit like a glove. The material quality is great and likewise the support is superb. If you are also feeling that a 4 inch belt is too long and feel better at wearing the belt a bit higher I highly recommend trying this belt.

First I love the color. You can feel the craftsmanship when you pick this thing up. Use it for heavy squats and deadlifting. Feels broken in already. I am glad I listened to a guy that said if you are between sizes, Personally my waist is about 38.5 . I was thinking I should get the large. Instead I got the medium, I am glad I did. When tight it I get on about the third notch. My guess is a large would have been almost too big to get super tight. Great belt , love it

I fully expect this belt to last a lifetime. It’s sturdy, gorgeous, smells amazing, FEELS amazing (smooth and durable at the same time) Get yourself some American leather and never buy a belt again! My one complaint is the size I’m a 32 waist which is pretty average waist size , and the medium had me on the first rung (no space left to grow in) and the the large has me on the third to last rung, soon to be second to last as I’m cutting a bit- all this to say that for the most average waist size, it seems they missed the mark a tiny bit- (I’m having to tuck a LOT of belt away, I’ll likely end up cutting a few inches off, and the medium was too small) It is still the greatest most awesome belt ever.

Great quality lifting belt. If you are debating between sizes I recommend getting the smaller size. It’s sized right if you measure it which makes it slightly longer than most belts.

The quality of the leather, rivets, buckle, and craftmanship are awesome. I would not randomly let anyone borrow my belt, but I had 2 friends tried my belt on and as soon as they grab it they were impressed. And even more impressed after squatting with the belt on - jaw-dropping (WTF) and I am not exaggerating. I am a waist 31 and the small fits me on the 4th hole - it's perfect and secure. I had the belt for over 2 months already and it's breaking easily into my waist. Plus the olive color is unique and the suede leather is pure quality - It's a Luxury Good for Squatting.

Needed a 3" belt which is not easy to find. This one came with a pretty big price tag but I was limited in my options. Took a while to get it, but it arrived meeting my expectations. Made well, and the craftsmanship is easy to see. I have seen belts in this price range with more stitching around the eyelets but the stitch job they did looks to be strong, Another bonus was this arrived like it had been worked to loosen it up. It was half way broken in already, not used just ready to go. This belt will work for us in competition and we are happy with it.

Sirve muy bien para levantamientos pesados, no se abre y es de muy buena calidad. No es muy ancho
