How to choose the right training belt
Not every belt is suitable for every workout. These points will help you choose:
- Material: Buffalo leather and suede offer maximum stability for heavy lifts. Nylon and neoprene are lighter and more flexible for dynamic movements.
- Closure: Hook and loop fastener allows for quick and easy donning and doffing. An adjustable buckle provides a more secure fit under maximum force.
- Type: Carbon fiber powerlifting belt for maximum weight. Dip belt for weighted dips and pull-ups. Waist trimmer for heat and sweat absorption.
- Width: Wider belts support more of the back, narrower ones allow more freedom of movement.
- Size: Most models are adjustable and fit different body sizes.
- Care: All models are hand washable and will retain their shape for a long time.

FAQ
Which training belt is best suited for squats and deadlifts?
For maximum loads, a powerlifting belt made of buffalo leather or suede with an adjustable buckle is recommended. These offer the highest level of back support when lifting heavy loads.
What is the difference between a Velcro fastener and a buckle?
Hook-and-loop fasteners are quick to put on and take off, ideal for frequent set changes. A metal buckle provides a more secure fit and is preferred, especially with very heavy weights.
Are the belts adjustable and suitable for different body sizes?
Yes, all models have adjustable closures. Simply measure your waist circumference before purchasing and compare it to the size chart.
How are training belts cared for?
All models are suitable for hand washing. Leather models should not be soaked. Air dry after cleaning.
How long does a Walk Like A Pro training belt last?
All belts come with a 2-year warranty. With normal use and proper care, leather models last significantly longer.
Is a dip belt also suitable for weighted pull-ups?
Yes. The dip belt is simply placed around the hips and the weight plate is attached to the chain. It is suitable for both dips and weighted pull-ups.
What is a waist trimmer and when does it make sense to use one?
A waist trimmer generates heat on the abdomen and back during training. It is particularly popular among bodybuilders during the definition phase, when increased sweating is desired.
