Add stability to your lifts with REP’s Nylon Lifting Belt, designed for all levels of weightlifters and functional fitness athletes. A lifting belt acts as a tool to increase intra-abdominal pressure by giving your core muscles something to brace against as the abdominal wall expands. This added stability is why most athletes can lift more with a belt than without. This belt is 4” thick in the back with a 3" strap in the front (in compliance with International Weightlifting Federation specs) for consistent pressure to provide optimal stability during your lifts. Secure the belt with strong hook-and-loop fastener for the perfect belt tightness without getting stuck between hole sizes.
A knurled, steel locking mechanism adds stability to the buckle, prolongs the life of the hook-and-loop fastener, and along with a pull tab, allows for quick and easy adjustments to loosen or tighten the belt for different types of lifts. This can save you adjustment time in workouts and competitions that require you to move between heavy and light or bodyweight exercises. This belt is made from a sturdy nylon, which is excellent for both performance and comfort. And the entire back side of the belt is covered in a fabric that you can customize with patches, if desired. The belt weighs at or under 1lb, depending on the size, so it’s easy to store, carry, and toss in your gym bag.

Should I Get a Nylon or Leather Lifting Belt?
Buckle up! Let's pick the best belt for you

A lifting belt acts as a tool to increase intra-abdominal pressure by giving your core muscles something to brace against as the abdominal wall expands. The stability that a belt provides explains why most lifters can lift more with one than without.
If you're all about heavy compound lifts or plan to compete in a powerlifting meet, leather might be your best bet. But if you're looking for a versatile belt that can handle a variety of exercises, including Olympic weightlifting and HIIT style workouts, go with nylon. Read more about how to pick the best belt for you here.
The knurled locking mechanism allows for quick and easy adjustments for loosening and tightening the belt. Wear it tight and secure for your heavy lifts, without worrying about the belt failing due to overtightening. Then quickly loosen it when it’s time to lift lighter weight; simply undo the fastener and pull on the buckle. The end of the hook-and-loop strap has a small tab that doesn't secure to the belt. This pull tab allows you to quickly change the tightness, which is especially beneficial for HIIT-style training, where you often move between different weights. It’s easy to retighten the belt again when needed. Change the tightness quickly and easily without ever having to take the belt off.
Measure the size of your waist – the circumference where you want to wear the belt -- while you’re in your workout clothing. Generally, you want to center the belt over your belly button. If your measurements fall in between sizes, go with the smaller option. Nylon Lifting Belt sizes are as follows: small (28-36.5”), medium (32-40.5”), large (36-44.5”), x-large (40-48.5”), and xx-large (44-52.5”).
You don’t need to yank on your belt like a corset. A too-tight belt can actually inhibit your ability to fully expand your torso to create tension. The belt should fit snugly as you brace, but not be overly tight before you brace. The purpose of a lifting belt is to provide a cue for you to brace against – internally.
Yes! The International Weightlifting Federation specifies its competition-approved belts are no more than 12cm wide; this belt is 10.2cm (4”). Typical weightlifting belts are 10cm wide for back support but taper off in the front. In addition, a typical weightlifting belt is 10-13cm thick, with the thicker option providing extra support, but it can be a bit uncomfortable. REP’s belt falls right in the sweet spot – 11mm -- providing the best amount of support without sacrificing comfort.
Yes, you can use the Nylon Lifting Belt with REP's USA Leather Utility Loop to attach to a cable machine or weights, as well as add resistance to bodyweight exercises, such as weighted dips, weighted pull-ups, belt squats, sled pulls, and more.
Yes, it has a one-year warranty.
