Postby buzz » Tue Dec 15, 2009 9:01 am

Yo vegan mofos, all belts now at 10% off until the end of January - http://www.vegansportshop.co.uk/index.p ... ffers.html

All sizes still available, and really good feedback on these badboys so far.

Apologies for the folk who bought one at full price recently, but well worth the money I'm sure you'll agree!

I bought the lever belt on sunday with MY HARD AND SKILLFULL FULL DAY LABOUR!

Used it yesterday for deadlifts. What a difference to normal velcro belts i have been using so far! Got my size spot on (two holes off on size L, thats with rehband and two t-shirts under it. Do i hear "ripped!"?), and it felt very nice and supportive.

The powerlifters said it is a wee bit softer than the stiff belts they have, but this can be viewed as a positive thing. Personally i wouldnt even like to have it stiffer when deadlifting, or especially when doing strongman event training.

In fact i am thinking of still using my velcro belt for things like medleys, loading, stones...

very good quality and impressed about this product my main man Buzzer! Great work!

And hey, it was great to sell those belts at the strongman competition - meaning those pricks wont be bying a leather belt! A result!

What? Are these the kinda-IPF approved PL belts? Have you got them done now? Any idea which feels better? I'll definitly buy one if they are.

I measure around 84 cm over the belly button, what size for say 80-90 cm waist?

Have you been sleeping?? :) They're not officially IPF approved, but have been checked by a couple of IPF judges/refs who say they'd pass them at a kit check etc. Made to IPF spec. Yes, they've been ready and selling like hot cakes from my site for a month or so. Get in quick, not too many left of certain sizes. I use both, but if I had to choose one I'd say the 13mm buckle belt is my fave. Down to personal preference completely though.

Measurements for the different sizings are on the site. Remember to measure where the belt will go rather than round the waist itself.

To get all pedantic and to clarify this.

You don't need to get this kind of equipment "approved" unless you want to display your company's logo on the product, in this case Buzz's beautiful logo will have to be covered up unless he's rich and can afford the 1000 Euros or whatever the fee is to become a sponsor. As the belt meets all requirements it's fine to use otherwise. Bars, racks and benches are a another story.

I've had the belt a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it.

It's given me a lot of support and even pop during my squats and deadlifts. It is sturdy but supple enough to remain comfortable.

A lot of the omnivores at the gym with the leather Titan belts are constantly checking it out and saying it's much better than they had imagined.

Wish I could say the same.

You can see where the squat bar was on my back because its all red and apparently I can't center things very well.
