Spud Black Belt Squat Large Belt for Weight Lifting Strength Training and Power Lifting by Spud, Inc.

Total beast of a belt. Will never break. Last forever and will hold loads that my bones will never tolerate. Can be slightly pinchy during heavy belt squats on the anterior hip due to the size however this belt is built for the largest of the large strong men so I just have to get on with it. No pain no gain! Amazing for people who need to squat and don't want to compromise the integratory of the disc joints. Actually rather surprised how effective, how heavy you can go without any loading on my L5. Great variation. Worth the cash.

This is my favorite simple home gym accessory right now. It is very well made and easy to use. It functions comfortably without any snags. I’ve hooked this squat belt to my 150 pound kettlebell and FreeMotion cables machine for smooth squatting. Just ordered a loading pin to further challenge this squat belt with heavier lifts!

This thing is an absolute tank.I was worried about my old belt breaking, not so with this.Get a short daisy chain and a decent carabiner from a climbing shop and you're set to lift the mountain.

Very high build quality as you would expect from Spud. The wider, back portion is very thick and supportive and the material is flexible enough to conform comfortably to your body while still being supportive. I have zero concerns about material or stitching failure regardless of how much weight I'm using.My only complaint, and it's minor, is that the ends of the wide band of nylon, which typically end on the tops/insides of my thighs, can be abrasive. The material seems to be heated/melted to prevent unraveling, and it can dig in or scratch a little if you don't take the time to get it situated comfortably. This isn't a major issue but worth mentioning. It may not even make contact with your legs depending on your build, leg positioning, or choice of pants/shorts.Lastly, keep the length of this belt in mind. I am about 6'/31" inseam and use this belt on a Tbar/landmine bar setup since I don't have a dedicated belt squat machine at my gym. I can't imagine anyone having an issue of this belt being too short - if I do not elevate myself on a lifting platform, or use smaller diameter plates, the plates bottom out onto the floor before I reach full depth in my squats. For a lifter with a larger waist, that would use up some of the belt length and probably eliminate this. I have just made a few changes to my lift setup and it works great now, but if the belt was slightly shorter it would allow me to reach full depth without having to take any additional steps.Overall very happy with the quality and wouldn't hesitate to continue to buy Spud products.

Works great for belt squats

I used this product for its intended purpose

This belt is amazing. I use it for sled pulls. Super high quality and it's as functional as it is comfortable.

Gym got a new belt squat, the BS belt that came with the machine was torture…this is the belt you need if you want to focus on moving the weights and not the pain of of the belt cutting into your hips. Game changer!
