How a Starting Strength Belt is Made with Dominion Strength

[@josephgwaltney6752]

Everyone is whining about the name and the voting system. Well, this ain't them. I have a Dominion belt. 3" double ply. Freakin' awesome belt! I love it. Replaced my cheap padded velcro belt. World of difference. Bought it after you guys were on the podcast some time back. Thank you guys!

[@barrydworak]

We're just mean, that's all. I want a 3" and will probably order one soon.

[@cmdrfunk]

Are these the bad guys from Deep Space Nine?

[@Ondrej.U]

Got one of these shipped to Europe few years ago, 100% worth it! Still in top condition!

[@MichaelWarrenPerform]

They literally just said that those belts sucked and that they started making their own on Christmas 2019. Which makes your purchase beforehand. Moron.

[@andyolli3765]

@@MichaelWarrenPerform just chill, dude. He said that he shipped one to Europe, meaning that he lives in Europe and shipping came from the 🇺🇸. The belt was made in States and shipped to Europe. Got it?

[@MichaelWarrenPerform]

@@andyolli3765 EDIT: my bad dude I honestly don't remember this quite 100% because it was wine night and I was probably just amusing myself being a dick. My bad my bad

[@andyolli3765]

@@MichaelWarrenPerform don't worry, it's ok 👌

[@barrydworak]

I trust that Dominion Strength is not affiliated with Dominion "Voting" Systems. Otherwise I'd expect that if I put the buckle in the 3rd hole it might randomly switch to the 2nd or 5th hole while I'm lifting.

[@eddiejansen3771]

Umm errr disinformation !

[@barrydworak]

@Robohobo what's weird is, they weren't there when I went to bed. They suddenly appeared around 2am.

[@aydenlui]

@@barrydworak lolololol its almost like someone drilled 2 random holes in the middle of the night! 🤔🤣

[@jeremy_williams]

Got my Dominion belt about 8 months ago. High quality, worth every penny. Love it.

[@jonathonpitts3324]

Got one a year ago for Christmas and never looked back. Incomparable quality.

[@benrunsacross2935]

Whenever is see the word “Dominion” in the state of Georgia I think of something else...

[@rutatutut]

I love my Dominion belt. (3" double-ply, single-prong). A year later the thing is still gorgeous, stout, and gets the job done with excellence. Much like me. Get a belt from this kick-ass family. They are doing good work in an upside-down world.

[@hwcidybz]

I ordered mine a couple weeks ago and look forward to it even more now! Congratulations on going into business for yrselves! Interesting to hear about you coming from those backgrounds as well, and to see the process and you working together is great! Continued success and growth to you both and the strength community at large (haha!). We need it now more than ever)))) Keep taking good care!

[@jfabs8796]

After watching this video I am so glad I ordered one of your single ply belts last week. I love the way you guys put all the detail and quality into these belts. And made here right in the good old USA! 🇺🇸

[@RandomNamedOne]

Thanks guys...I've two dominion strength belts...they have one flaw..they will last forever..nice work.

[@erikahlborn3609]

I bought one a year ago, excellent quality. its holding up great.

[@ren_dezvous]

The craftsmanship of these belts is second to none! Will continue to support these kinds of small patriotic businesses. Keep up the great work, Blake and Katie. Indeed, you both show commitment and love in your work.

[@andyolli3765]

Surprisingly a lot of manual labour required to make one belt. But that makes it a good craftsmanship. Good to see them being proud of their work and business. Btw, who the hell hits the dislike button? Honest folks making good quality products. What's there to dislike?

[@raymondblood6322]

MADE WITH LOVE this is a testament to old school leather workers from USA first class quality and attention to detail would love one them bad boys

[@jeffs7482]

The other day someone busted a window out of my truck and stole my gym bag, so I needed a new belt. I used one of your belts at Starting Strength Houston and was knocked out by its quality (especially the rivets). So this was the silver lining that came out of my bad luck. I'm really happy to support a small USA business run by people who obviously care about quality. I'm a guitar maker myself so it was great to see the specialized power tools used by makers in another medium. Thanks for making this very cool video!

[@DannyRaimondi]

Super cool to watch the process!

[@dksculpture]

Very impressive attention to quality and detail. I wish you both continued success. I don’t “need” a new belt but I may just have to order me one of those bad boys.

[@rutatutut]

Do it. Mine is incredible. Support this awesome couple. :)

[@stevebattista6686]

Can’t wait for mine to be shipped.. thanks guy’s

[@pr51]

Absolutely amazing quality and thorough explanation! Loved it.

[@LEFTHANDEDBXR]

Just bought two of these belts they are awesome the craftsmanship is top notch and the smell of pure natural leather is awesome these belts are excellent

[@jedininjaknight8733]

Just got mine, love it! Good luck to you guys.

[@Rascon5]

So excited for my new belt! I bought the black suede 3in 😁

[@xyzct]

Mine arrived yesterday -- a 3", 2-ply, single prong beauty. The quality is ridiculously over the top. Blake and Katie are heroically resisting the torrent of crap being produced in this world.

[@seungfly]

Hi! I bought one from Amazon now and watched the KZbin making video. I was really surprised to make it by hand. I saw the belt making process for the first time. I want to test your belt by using only the Cadillo belt. This is a video of faith. Good luck!

[@TheDIGAgency]

Looking forward to getting this belt soon =) - I've had to drill a few holes in my now too-small belt =)

[@maximumeffort8886]

Beautiful looking belts

[@maximc7089]

Great to see a couple of youngsters so committed to their futures. Have you thought of personalising the belts? I think there's a market there. Anniversaries, special occasions, achievements, prizes etc, see what I mean?

[@danielmelvin4525]

You guys still making the belts? ordered mine two weeks ago yesterday.. still hasn’t arrived yet. Was hoping it would’ve been here by now.

[@Pope2501]

I bought your 2 ply SS belt about 6 months ago and my lifting straps and deadlift jacks arrived this past Monday. I’ll never know if your belt is the highest quality, because I don’t plan on buying any other brand. My next purchase will be your lever belt because I’m about to reduce my girth below the XL lower limit. I’m thinking of a 2.5” for a couple women I train. I’d love a belt of this exact quality in 11, 12, and 13mm, dyed in espresso brown, ox blood red, and Vanta black, respectively. Possibly in 2 23/4 “. I’m just spitballing ideas. Love your equipment! I need a shit though. I just put your sticker on my new car as well.

[@stevesedgwick5789]

Lovely quality. You should also consider manufacturing belts under your own brand and at 4”. Become a global provider.

[@charlesnewcomb3739]

How exciting!

[@pejpj2890]

Link for a belt?

[@AmjadKhan-wf1kv]

What’s a single and double ply?

[@pokeyouindaeye]

So sorry that your name's been co-opted!

[@barrydworak]

Stolen, even.

[@dard4642]

My max squat with this belt was 345 lbs. Then I went to bed and, when I woke up, it had increased by 139,000 lbs!

[@dallasdominguez2224]

So youre telling me you can squat an M1 Abrams Tank? Damn.

[@rutatutut]

In a world of “planned obsolescence”, Dominion belts ain’t that.

[@wangwei163]

I have a blue one and made from Pakistan.

[@phillewis3108]

There is now no possibility I will buy any other belt.

Is Dominion strength related to those gimmick dominion voting machines? Will these belts steal my gains and give them to my enemy?

[@cmdrfunk]

0.7 for you and 1.3 for your enemy

[@tariqhassan387]

Bro He didnt mentioned the price he was paying for overseas belts & then all will understand .... why overseas Belts are purchased ..... Now days Gymreaper Belts made in Pakistan

[@gshanmalik6379]

Yeah i get it you are looking for some belts orders but that's not positive Start to pointing out some brands they are not selling good belts, cheap belts Worth cheap quality or at least normal quality how can you compare your 100$ belt with 40$ belt

[@Falconer417]

What an unfortunate name.

[@TheAvi8tor55]

Gotta love the conspiracy theorists in this comment section.

[@kwastek]

A theory is a logical organization of observable facts, describing the reality. So... yeah.

[@TheAvi8tor55]

​@@kwastek Great job providing the definition for a "Scientific Theory" and not a "Conspiracy Theory" to fit your narrative. /s

[@raymondkight2235]

@@TheAvi8tor55 wrong! He defined 'theory'. The word preceding is irrelevant. Conspiracy hypothesis would be a more accurate term for what you were attempting to describe. However, you're still wrong because this has gone well past the hypothesis stage and is more like a conspiracy fact. :D
