Any recommendations on belts? I am currently weighing the merits of buckle vs. leather. Heard good things about this Rep Fitness belt but it is a little pricey. I’ve seen a few good reviews for this lever belt but I am unfamiliar with the manufacturer. My use case - back squat and deadlift / RDL in 5-8 rep range (hypertrophy-focused); no powerlifting, CrossFit, et al. Thanks in advance!

I've been using a two prong Inzer Forever Belt since 2009. It's still in great condition and quite a bit cheaper than the one you linked. I think mine is the 12 or 13 mm (whatever was the thickest allowed in the USAPL) but the 10 would probably be more comfortable/flexible.

I've had my 10mm Pioneer many years and really like it. Mine isn't the lever, it's the single prong with the half-increment holes which I prefer.

Some of the best belts for weightlifting in my opinion. Hand crafted. A little expressive but you will likely be handing one of these down to your son or grand-kid.

Go with Inzer. I started with a double prong and then moved up to a lever belt.

I called them to see what they had in stock in my size and was able to get one of the specialty color combos in like 2-3 days.
