 An amazing human being Member 2047, 17156 posts SQ 262.5, BP 170, DL 300732.5 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | A stupidly mong strong acquaintance of mine is after a lever belt and is wondering what benefits of a 13mm thick one has over a 10mm thick one. Obviously its thicker and so prob have less give but what does this mean in terms of lifting? | ||

If soI imagine the 13mm will soak up more juices and thus offset the extra investment | ||

Tell your Stupdily Stong Mong Friend  that 13mm will be less plyable than a 10mm on and but i find that the 13mm offer more support. in Stronman a 10mm will help in moving events should Mr Mong Strong want to wear a belt during a medley or somekind for added support whilst moving heavy s**t. | ||

Just bit skint so didnt want to waste my money ! also didnt know which brand to buy either. if it just for Skwaats and DL the i'd go with a 13mm inver belt with a steel buckle. the ones with a cast buckel have a tendancy to break as i have broken three now. have you tried a Single prong 13mm or 10mm belt? i always found them to be good too. mind you i have both types and a rachet belt so i'm covered for how i want to support my back and core. | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | AdamC said:imo the inzers 13mm lever belt is unbeatable Ooooo yeahhhhhh!!! Not seen a belt in person that looked or felt better. Thankfully I got mine a a few years ago when the pound was srong against the dollar and US compaines didn't charge silly amounts for shipping. Nowdays I'd prob settle for a lesser belt if I was in the market. | ||
