Why Choose a 10mm Lifting Belt for Your Training
Strong Support with Necessary Flexibility
A 10mm lifting belt offers the right middle ground between movement and support. Unlike thinner belts that may not provide enough bracing during heavy lifts, or thicker 13mm belts that can feel too rigid, 10mm thickness delivers reliable support while staying comfortable throughout your training session. This makes them useful for various lifting disciplines, from powerlifting to Olympic weightlifting.
Our Apex 4-inch powerlifting belts feature quality leather that adapts to your body over time, creating a better fit that enhances your lifting experience.

Custom Designs for Personal Performance
Our Bespoke Custom Weightlifting Belts let you show your personality while maintaining professional-grade support. From anime-inspired designs like Naruto, Demon Slayer, and Dragon Ball Z to completely customized creations, these belts combine style with function.
Proper Belt Sizing for Maximum Support
Wearing your belt correctly can boost both safety and performance. Follow these key steps:
-
Position it properly: Wrap the belt around your midsection to support your lower back and abdominal wall.
-
Tighten for bracing: It should feel snug but not restrictive. You want room to take a deep breath and push your core against the belt.
-
Adjust for the lift: For squats, wear it slightly higher; for deadlifts, a bit lower on your torso works best.
For those who want a balance of stability and range of motion, the 8mm lifting belt delivers reliable performance.
