SchiekSports 2006 Nylon 6 Inches Weight Lifting Belt - Support Belt for Power Lifting

This belt is quality product. The fit was great and the workmanship is top notch, great value for the prices. Size runs true to fit. Of course Made in the USA which is difficult to find a non-leather belt that is made in the USA. Would recommend to anyone who is starting or serious about lifting .

This review comes after approximately 6 months of use, olympic lifting 3 times a week and occasional use during crossfit WOD’s. Overall the structural rigidity of the belt has held up very well. It feels just as supportive today as the first time I used it. The Velcro “stickiness” has also held up very well and I have never had the belt loosen (Velcro slip) under load. My only complaint, and it's minor, is that I have noticed some fraying of threads on the perimeter of the Velcro and also a small amount (apx 1 inch) of stitching that holds the velcro to the nylon belt has come undone. Considering I loosen and tighten the belt before/after every lift I consider this a small amount of visible wear.As to the fit of the belt I have a 36 inch waist (measured at the belly button), I have the medium sized belt and it fits great. The belt is very comfortable with the contour over the hips allowing for greater range of movement. This is of course great for olympic lifting but I have also found it useful during certain Crossfit workouts where, for example, we go from some type of lift (thrusters, or cleans) to something like burpees or rowing.Overall I’m very happy with this product and have recommended to others at my gym.

This is my second Scheik belt. I had to replace my old one do to weight gain. The old one was still serviceable after 5 years of use. I am 75 years old and was a powerlifter for many years. I have used the thick heavy leather belts and found them uncomfortable and not really user-friendly pinching and rib rubbing just a few of my complaints.I switched to the Schiek lifting belt and had the same if not better ab and back support without the rib bruising, buckle pinching and belt tip gouging. The belt shape and hook and loop fastening are the best features as one can relax the belt very quickly between reps and retighten without removing the belt. Well made in the USA and the design features provide comfort and ease of use.

The belt does all the things the mfr claims. The fit is very comfortable, and the belt can be cinched down easily once you get the hang of it. I really like the rib and hip relief - this belt does not dig in like standard belts do. The one way velcro sounded a bit hoky to me, but it actually works as advertised. I don't do low rep, ultra heavy squats or deadlifts anymore, so I can't really comment on what the belt feels like at the bottom of those lifts, when it really counts. Back Then, 25 years ago, I used a 6" padded leather belt that dug into the hips and ribs, but it did not stretch or give at the bottom of those lifts. This belt is all day comfortable - I also wear it riding my motorcycle for hours at a time. Very pleased with the product.

If you are looking for firm support while moving big weights (Olympic or powerlifting otherwise), drop down a size.

Es el mejor de buen material vale la pena comprarlo y como se siente al usarlo es aún mejor que los demás

This is my first belt I've ever used. I started crossfit this year and was a little doubtful on why everyone uses them, but it really does help your lifts, especially once you start lifting heavy. I really like how it's contoured to be thicker around your back. It keeps my lower back from curving and keeps the belly nice and tight. I know there's a lot of different belt brands out there, so I didn't know what to get at first, but can't go wrong with made in USA. I'd definitely buy again, even if it is a little more than the cheap belts.
