jbennett Posts: 1,558 Joined: 2001/02/28	2008/12/29, 09:50 AM The Inzer Forever belts are amazing. 13mm will be too much for what your needs are, though. 10mm lever is what I have and it's awesome. If you don't go with the lever, at least go with the double prong. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

	2008/12/29, 01:30 PM Say what you will but I love my 13mm lever inzer belt as do most others who buy the belt. You'll probably need XL size...

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2008/12/29, 01:58 PM Also on the lever belts do you have to adjust them for different lifts or dose it stay the same? -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

	2008/12/29, 03:16 PM They stay the same. Benefit of Lever belt is that you can get it considerably tighter. PR Inzer Belt is lever and adjustable as necessary. It's over 100$ tho.

A mentor in my gym told me months ago to get a lever. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2008/12/29, 07:08 PM I called Inzer today and this is what I was told, Measure around your naval with your workout close and even gear if you use. I measured 41 inches and was told to go with the XL 39-42 and that would actually put me in around the middle of the belt, if this stands to be untrue once I receive my belt I will correct this post by letting you all know. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

However, for the weight and movements that SFGiantsMVP will be performing while wearing the belt, a 13mm will be overkill. A 10mm will suffice in this case. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

You will be more than satisfied with it. But why black? They offer sooo many shades of pink and purple... :big_smile: Kidding... mine's black, too... or at least it was.

coolnatedawg Posts: 813 Joined: 2005/03/09	2008/12/29, 11:18 PM i eventually want to get a lever belt, but i have an elite single prong 13mm power belt. i know you already bought it but i wanted to put my 2 cents in in case anyone reads this in the future. why would you want a double prong? single prong is more than sufficient. my training partner has the same belt as i but double, and it is such a b*tch to get it really tight and does not really make much of a difference in terms of strength. just my thoughts...

jbennett Posts: 1,558 Joined: 2001/02/28	2008/12/30, 08:00 AM Yeah, I'm a bit bigger than you, but my waist is smaller than yours. The XL will be fine. You can adjust it very easily and I'm sure it'll fit just fine. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2009/01/07, 11:52 PM How tight do you wear your belt I just got mine and it's big and I have only 1 whole left to go tighter then I start punching my own hole lol but I think it's tight enough as is. My friend should me his today and I think his is to small becuase he get a pitch in the belt where I don't because of so much over lap. I have where I have to take a breath to get it to snap, I have to stand upright suck in gut and then snap it. If I make it just 1 notch looser I don't have to suck in gut so I think I got it perfect but not sure. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down! http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=15&t_ix=1609 Squat 285 Deadlift 355 Bench 260x2
	2009/01/08, 11:08 AM You should take in a deep breath and then tighten the belt.
SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2009/01/08, 03:07 PM I'm debating on sending it back for a large or just keep it and if I need it smaller for some reason because my waist got smaller I can just drill my own hole in it. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down! http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=15&t_ix=1609 Squat 285 Deadlift 355 Bench 260x2
SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2009/01/08, 04:20 PM I just measure waist today and it's 39, 39.5 with clothes and if I ever get into gear then that would even go higher so the belt should do. If I lose weight I can put my own holes in it I guess. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down! http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=15&t_ix=1609 Squat 285 Deadlift 355 Bench 260x2
SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2009/01/08, 06:59 PM Holy Crap! I just discovered a real good thing about the belt being big. If I turn the lever to the side on my hip I end up with double belt perfectly across my stomach. Thank God I went with a 10mm because even with the front being doubled it's still feels good. 10mm back with a 20mm front is what I got woo hoo! Ok I know shut up about my belt but it's my 1st one and I'm stoked but I shutting up now. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down! http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=15&t_ix=1609 Squat 285 Deadlift 355 Bench 260x2
