If you're doing heavy deadlifts, squats etc, then you need a good strong belt. These belts are 1cm thick and are made from 4 layers of top quality hide and 4” thick all round, essential for maintaining correct posture and reducing injury. These are the strongest belts you can buy. The belts are lined on both sides with suede for greater comfort, with no need to wear them in like those cheap hard leather belts. Maximuscle’s Power belts have a quick release catch that is extremely quick and easy to open. Note: standard belts with a thin front are dangerous!
