Valeo VRL6 6" Padded Leather Contoured Weightlifting Lifting Belt with Suede Lining

I bought this belt to help my squats and dead lifts and to allow me to focus on now letting my back arch. The Belt itself is great. Its the quality of an $80 belt for a fraction of the price. The padding is just soft enough to where there is no discomfort when cinching tightly. The material is a leather like material but it is thick! It feels durable.As for effectiveness I added 30+ lbs to my dead lift instantly after switching from the belt at the gym (either a light leather one or a Velcro one, both suck compared to this). It makes a world of a difference and I feel like I can focus my strength where needed. Its really easy to size and the wholes are close enough to where you can get it just right (maybe 1/2 inch).I am a 33 inch waste and im at one of the 3 tightest holes on the medium size belt. Under a 33 I would be careful getting a medium and maybe look at a small but there is probably room to go up to a high 30s in waist size within the medium.Click YES if this review was helpful.

This is my second Valeo belt. I loved the first one, but wore out the leather lining that covers the padded back part of the belt. So much sweat over a couple of years of continuous use ate right through it to the foam padding, so I couldn't use the belt any longer. I thought about repairing or covering the padding, as the integrity of the rest of the belt was just fine. But, in the end I decided to spring for a new belt.The price I paid through Amzamon was actually less than what I paid for the first one a few years ago at Academy. Shipping was fast, though I must admit, they used a huge box and way too much air-pack padding for an item that they otherwise could have stuck a stamp on and dropped into a mailbox. Needless to say it got there without damage.Speaking of damage, that's why I wear the Valeo belt when I lift weights. As a recipient of three lower-back operations over a 17 year period, I gotta have the lower back support when I lift, or I'll be back in surgery. Frankly, the belt gives the middle of my body a sense of solid-ness that makes lifting that much more enjoyable. I wear it during my entire workout. It's super durable, pretty comfortable and gives me a real sense of confidence when pushing/pulling heavier weights. At 52, I know I'll never have the physique of those 20-something hulks who lift around me, but with the belt on, at least I know I probably won't get hurt trying to be a moderately ripped middle-aged guy.

The belt is great, thick and sturdy, and can hold you well when you squat and deadlift. I really like that it has two "rings" where the extra strap goes into once you put it on.I have a 31" waist (use a 30-31 Levis jeans) and bought the medium size and I have to get it all the way to the last hole but I was too afraid to buy the small since it mentioned it was for a 31" waist at the longest. The last hole makes the belt tight enough.One only issue - The "rings" where the extra belt goes into are very thin and look that they will break soon, I hope they don't.

I am 6'1" at 192 pounds and I bought the M. Size is OK for me but I guess that someone my size could use the S as well. I use mine on the holes just before the last to proper fitting. The material is very good and sturdy and it provides a good back support. I used to squat without any belt but this definitely provides good support and will help to prevent any injuries. Wearing a belt might not be necessary if you don't perform heavy lifts. However, if you squat more than 275 pounds, you should wear a belt to prevent any injuries to your back. I use it solely for Squats, Deadlifts and Barbell Rows and take it off the minute I'm done. Sometimes even between sets.

As a large lifter, it can be difficult to find a belt that fits properly. This belt fits me snugly and provides a great amount of support. High quality, thick leather with solid double prong latch. Incredible value for the money.

A perfect belt to help with squatting and deadlifting that I'm sure will stand the test of time. I did some research on belts trying to find the best one that didn't also include unnecessary bells and whistles that I think are ridiculous on gym equipment. This is a simple belt yet still very comfortable, and helps to keep you safe during heavy lifts. It folds up nice so you can place it in your gym bag without taking up too much space, and the buckles are extremely durable. If you're looking for a lifting belt, this is the one I recommend.

Great belt! the belt is stiff and has a bit of padding. I used this belt atleast 2-3days a week when I'm working out on my lower back. wearing this helped me equally distribute my lower back muscles. When I'm wearing this and performing deadlifts, I feel the burn on both sides of my lower back instead of one dominate side. For those who are 5ft'6in and weighing at 125lbs(all muscle w/ low % body fat) I recommend the size small. For those who are planning to bulk up you might want to consider bumping up the size in the future, I know I will. Overall great belt!

I love these belts. Everyone in the gym has some super expensive, custom, Bluetooth ready, iron clad belts. Meh. That’s not for me. This company has been around they make a quality product. I’ve been working out for 15 years and love their belts. I do recommend the 6inch for those with a thicker torso. I have a 34 inch waist and the 4 inch digs into me when I squat. Other than that great belt for your money.

Muy buen producto

Buenísima calidad de fabricación para el precio que tiene. Súper robusto y resistente. Muy recomendado.

Cinturone preciso affidabile lo uso per gli squat

Product as described.

Great support and make. If you need extra holes you can use a drill. Start with a small bit then a bigger one after.
