What is a Weightlifting Lever Belt?
A lever lifting belt is a piece of weightlifting equipment that provides a rigid level of support. A weightlifting lever belt is most popular with powerlifters and avid athletes, giving maximum support to the areas that need it most. This type of belt is designed to help with your breathing techniques and if worn correctly will not dig into your hips.
A weightlifting lever belt has several thickness options. For people starting out, a 10mm lever belt is the recommended thickness and is the most common option. As you work your way up and lift heavier weights, the next thickness is 13mm. A quality lever belt is made from premium leather material with a strong lever attachment.

What is a Neoprene Compression Under Belt?
The Team Industry Neoprene "Under" Weight Lifting Belt was originally designed for strongman athletes to be worn under a 4" lever belt and provide even more support for their extreme events. However with its versatile velcro closure and plastic spines in the back, it has fast become a favourite in the general fitness community.
The 7mm neoprene layer provides warmth to the lower back which is critical to allow for an effective training session.

To secure the belt there is a heavy duty velcro closure with an additional elasticated strap that can be pulled even tighter again with a velcro closure.
Loops have been designed into the belt that will allow any 10mm or 13mm 4" wide lever belts to worn over the neoprene under belt If more support is required. This is ideal for strongman events where a heavy deadlift, yoke or frame carry is part of your competition.

Why invest in a weightlifting belt?
Using a weightlifting belt can help keep your back safe while maintaining proper lifting techniques and stability. Combined with a proper breathing technique, a weightlifting belt provides a signal to your torso to tighten your muscles and core (providing stability) so that you can lift heavier loads. A weightlifting belt is a tool that will help with your stability and focus on safely reaching your goals.
Weightlifting Lever Belt FAQ
Q: What size of a lever belt should I get?
A: Measure around your belly button to find the right size first. When you find your size, a lever belt is worn around the same area (belly button) to avoid it from “jamming” or digging into your hips. Do not measure your waist
Q: How do you adjust the lever buckle?
A: When you first get a lever belt, you adjust it to the size you think you’ll need by using a screwdriver to secure the lever adjustment. As you go up in weight it’s easy to quickly change the setting.
Q: Why should I use a lever belt?
A: If you’re looking for a belt that’s secure, gives you a tighter fit, and has the ability to support you during heavy lifting loads, then a lever belt is right for you.
Q: Is a lever weightlifting belt expensive?
A: It may seem like a lever belt is costly, but when you invest in a quality lever belt, you know you’re investing in it for life without having to worry about replacements or it failing.
Q: Who should use a lever belt?
A: A lever belt is most often used for powerlifting, so if you’re just starting out a lever belt might not be necessary. Anyone who has experience with weightlifting can benefit from using a lever belt.
Q: How tight should a lever belt be?
A: The best rule to follow is to be able to stick your hand between the belt and your belly. If the belt fits any tighter you might be doing more harm and constricting breathing as you perform your reps.
Q: Should I get a 10mm or 13mm lever belt?
A: The 10mm lever belt option is more common with many people and takes less time to break in. For serious lifters looking for the most amount of support, a thicker (13mm) belt is likely best.
Weightlifting Belt FAQ
Q: How do I use a weight lifting belt?
A: You’ll know you’re properly wearing a weight lifting belt if you’re breathing into it (expanding your stomach/core into the belt and then bracing against it).
Q: What doesn’t a weightlifting belt do?
A: A weightlifting belt doesn’t automatically prevent injuries nor does it mean you’ll automatically lift heavier especially if your breathing technique is off. Proper form is always first.
Q: When should I wear a weightlifting belt?
A: If you’re serious about making progress and want to lift heavier on squats, deadlifts, and more, a weight lifting belt should definitely be worn for your max heavy sets.
Q: What size weightlifting belt do I need?
A: The best way to find your lifting belt size is to measure around your waist (at the belly button) with the clothes you’d wear to the gym. From there, use the measurements to find your correct size. DO not measure your waist
Q: What’s the difference between a weightlifting belt and a lever belt?
A: A lever belt is geared more toward powerlifters or people who frequently lift heavy weight. Weightlifting belts are for people who do Olympic lifting, CrossFit, and bodybuilding.
