Lavado's Review: Inzer Lever Belt and Adidas AdiPower Weightlifting Shoes

Just my take on these new toys of mine :)

[@jeffryan8756]

It's called forever b/c that's how long it takes for your order to arrive at the crib WTF

[@phiandrew8994]

ordered mine last week - heard it takes 4-5 weeks lol

[@BasementBrandon]

Think my next purchase is a better belt, thanks for the informative video dude.

[@ldharris1005]

this is one of the best reviews i've seen, definitely thinking about getting the inzer belt

[@leanbodylifestyle]

I just bought one of these tonight...royal blue and just came across your channel. I think I saw you in an Ogus video. Good stuff man. Thanks for the review.

[@VincentLegent]

buying my inzer right now. Tried it yesterday, it makes a WORLD of a difference while squatting. Amazing feeling.

[@deumcole]

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but most if not all Inzer belt's are assembled to order. When I ordered mine, it took one week to asssmeble & ship, 5 days to arrive. Same for a friend of mine. Also, unless the colour you order is in stock it'll take longer, up to an extra 4weeks if I'm not mistaken. It's worth the wait though, I have the 10mm & it's bomb. Also, 13mm are impossible to break in (loosen up). My 10mm took 2months to break in as it is.

[@jeeky465]

@wmontano8 Fur sure man! The leather on it is as sturdy as it gets. Levers are awesome & practical IMO :) Thanks for the compliments on my new toys man!

[@brnsktingdieskting18]

just got my inzer the other day. best investment I've ever made. Unfortunately they only have the black in stock the other colors are on a 6 to 8 week hold I can't wait that long. Not to mention the holidays coming up which would cause even more delay

[@juancarlosguerrero7042]

What pant size you ere ? And what belt size you get ?

[@brnsktingdieskting18]

+Juan Carlos Guerrero 33-34 medium...keep in mind its adjustable for like another6+ inches

[@juancarlosguerrero7042]

Thank you sooo much , big help

[@LeroiWilliams]

Awesome! Did a KZbin search for 'Inzer Lever Belt Review' and ma boi Lavado was the top result! Booyah! Still trying to figure out to get a lever or prong

[@nickmanning4prez]

dude the first time i fitted my belt i did it way to tight and couldnt get it off, thought i was going to have to call the fire dept and saw that btich off

[@PTJersey]

I nearly bought these adidas!!! they look YUKKKYYY! thanks for the review lavado

[@benjayman2]

Started doing deads and squats just three months ago (didn't even know what deadlifts were before that lol) and I hit my PR of 425 just this past saturday. I've been doing them raw but ever since I got to four plates on the dead I've been thinking of getting a belt. Thanks so much for the review because I went ahead and ordered a medium 13mm in smooth black right after I watched your vid. Hopefully I can join the five plate club this year like you because I'm mirin your last deadlift vid.

[@Lmao2025]

what are your new balance shoes called??

[@sixthelement]

@jeeky465 Great reviews, Chris. Do you recommend sizing .5 down for sure on the adipowers? Another youtube review said that he stays true to size. I wear 9.5 in Nike shoes but don't have adidas to compare. Thanks

[@hayden0790]

those shoes are awesome mate, thanks for the review of the belt...i just got a similar one and you have explained it really well and clearly. thanks

[@jeeky465]

Thanks man. Sorry it took so long to get back to you here. As a lifting shoe-- I wanted to ENSURE that it fit snug. I wear 10s in everything. Nikes, Adidas, Vans, etc. Had I purchased the Adipowers in a 10, they would have felt like a 10.5 or even an 11 to be honest. My 9.5 that I ordered fits AMAZING. It wont be too small if you order a half size smaller than your normal shoe size.. if anything you will be glad you made the choice to be snug.

[@jeeky465]

@akaotherwise I agree ! Pumpkin pie... I was missing out. I'll have to buy some more..

[@jeeky465]

@UploadedProduct (cont.)... and If you do vary your sodium intake be sure to remember that daily weigh-ins will fluctuate. Sugar is already accounted for if you're tracking carbohydrates.. so don't stress it.

[@Icemanactual]

Ordered mine 2 weeks ago, still not here yet. But I found out that it only takes long if they are out of stock, or you are getting a color other than black. If you buy black, they already have a bunch usually. If you get one with a different color (I got red) then they do not have it ready to ship, they actually make it to order. That's why it takes so long.

[@Tpowers1525]

The angle on the shoes is simply a compensation for the lack of ankle flexibility prevalent in nearly every athlete. Proper ankle flexibility takes a very proactive approach to remaining flexibly enough. Not saying the shoes are a bad thing, just that they are a compensation.

[@Shanes.Gainzzz]

Chris! Two questions for you...what size are pants you buy and what size is the belt you got? Basically I have a 32 inch waist so I ordered the medium size belt(30-33) and I'm just hoping it fits since the shipping takes so long.

[@maeishoj]

Chris I'd like if you could help me out choosing the size for this belt. I've currently cut down to 145lbs and my waist(around the belly button ) measures 30inches. Which size should I buy? I bought a belt a while ago in size S and I have never used it cause it's too large, but can't be adjusted as much as this probably. How much "game" does it have? How much can you enlarge it or shrink it?I am also planning to bulk, so I'd like to know what you suggest. One could still make extra holes, right?

[@ladicius]

what size waist do you have and what size did you order? i heard their sizing charts are a bit skewed...thanks,

[@wmontano8]

Kick ass belt bro, i have a 13mm double prong inzer belt thats still leaving me bruises lol but ive only had for a month so its cool but now i want a lever seems more bad ass haha and those adidas look dope and the pop tarts for the win haha, keep it up your boy, Will

[@thomas3718]

Seem like a cool dude, I just ordered a pair of adiPower's and am hyped to try them out. How have yours held up so far?

[@poppadop89]

Are the shoes ok to use on front squats and leg press? Or is it mainly for back and hack squats, due to the heel of the shoes?

[@brandtmark1]

It's not that it takes a long time to get to you through mail. At times they will not have them in stock, and will have to make them. The company is out of Texas. I've had many things sent that we're in stock, and they made it withing 3 to 5 business days. Justto give everyone a heads up. Great review

[@jeeky465]

Never had that problem here.. but I've only given it use for a few months so far. What's my view on the Toro 10mm? I had that EXACT belt in 10mm in black. Best, most comfortable belt of my life.. but I lost it on the bus which is why I picked this up :( I believe the inzer is the same if not a TAD better in quality-- but it's still gonna take a year or more to reach the same level of comfort as the leather is real tough and I got the 13mm this time around.

[@akaotherwise]

mirin! lol @ "no homo" Dude, the poptart box is AMAZING! I love the pumpkin pie ones! Kyle Griffin introduced me to those.

[@liorohayon]

Chris, Maybe four inches height is too big for my body because I'm short and skinny. It either ends up over my hip bones or into my ribs. Can you explain how to put it on and where it should be placed?

[@Blafily]

so are these shoes elevating your heels?...i thought most say flat heals are better for squats?

[@StrappingYoungComrad]

Hey man, what size is your belt? and what is your waist size? I just want to make sure I get the right size. Thanks.

[@jeeky465]

@ladicius PERFECT choice ;) Be sure to let me know how you like it... and be honest

[@ako541]

i seen a usufel article on elite fts saying put your new belts in the dish washer, works pretty well for me

[@Tallmannfive]

What about if you want the belt just for back support because I injured my lower back and I just want a belt to wear for all my workouts?

[@mathc1rca]

7:32 for the Adipower. Great reviews !

[@fgTraining1]

What are your thoughts on the tapered lever belt if you have time to answer?

[@ElementRasengan]

Hey man, is the inzer 13mm forever belt allowed for power lifting meets? whats the difference in performance between the 13mm vs the 10mm? THANKS FOR YOUR REVIEW btw!

[@MegaAnimeStation]

So why don't you deadlift in the Adipower??? Are they not good for deadlifts??

[@jeeky465]

@kipmclaughlin NIIIIICE. I was gonna go custom as well.. but I just love the blue !

[@putz777]

just ordered mine,i hope it fits. im SOOO EXCITED!

[@xcamua]

why do u pick d 13mm not the 10? does hurt u when dead lifting

[@thomasbotica883]

What size belt is this?? And what is your waist measurement?

[@maxyeah1143]

guys help me pick the rite size belt as i am from Australia so shipping over here is expensive as hell so i want to get the rite size for me and get it rite the first time! . My waist size is 37 i measured from around my belly button so anyways do you reckon i should get the size large since its 34-38 ? like What does 34-38 really mean? Is the middle range or measured from the smallest to the biggest hole? thats why i am confused to what size i should get btw im not that lean atm i am bulking but im not fat or anything but when i do get lean i dnt think my waist will go that much smaller to make that much of a difference . Anyways moral of my question is who here owns a large size belt and what size waist are you and how does the belt fit is it too big or is it good or what ? thank you anyone that comments your answer would be very appreciated

[@FitGranticus]

I just got my 10mm belt, it is PLENTY thick for me. I feel like 13mm is only necessary if you are moving extremely heavy weights

[@pin75us1]

Are the shoes meant to be worn with or without socks?

[@saprano1972]

Cool review man...don't see to many reviews on the inzer forever lever belt.

[@jeeky465]

@benjayman2 Awesome man! Glad you could benefit from the video. That's what it was for. You're movin' some serious weight dude.. Keep it rollin' :)

[@LionRiver]

Hey bro how do you size it on the website? They give u numbers but they dont tell u what units its in???

[@qponx]

I also have the adipowers and Inzer lever. Can't wait to try out the belt. Too bad I got them in black, cause the blue looks so sexy (didn't want to wait)..

[@dreams2memories]

I wanna grab the medium belt for waists 30 to 33. My waist is at 29 or 29.5. I don't wanna grab the XS small belt cause its only 26-29 and I want to use this belt when I go back to bulking since my waist will get bigger. You think it'll be too loose if I get a medium when my waist is slightly smaller right now while cutting?

[@jeeky465]

How's it goin!? Mine is breaking in little by little. I'm currently injured so it's not being put to use. The belt is tough.. but ROLL it by force all the time and it will get worn in way faster.. :)

[@hokagehasan]

Yo is it ok to just wear yhese around the gym evening if your not doing legs, I mean can u bicep curl with these , any advantage?

[@tronnc17]

I'm considering buying inzer belt but should I get the 13 or 10mm, btw I never own a belt, I just always used the one at my gym.

[@TheCesarGuerrero]

what size is your belt? and do their size run big or small?

[@Uytube11]

@jeeky465 So if I have a regular waist size of 32-maybe 33...and contest, like you, dropped down to a 30-29-28.. a medium will be ok for all applicabilities? also, is it worth the money? honestly? :)

[@jeeky465]

@Uytube11 Yes. You'll be in the middle of the settings on a medium.. plenty of room to make it bigger than a 33 and plenty of room to make it smaller than a 29 I believe. And YES.. worth the $.

[@tuttah]

Yo Chris!!!!! I just got my belt today and whenever i put it on squat the lever pops open is it too loose?? PLEASE RESPONDD

[@jeeky465]

@UploadedProduct Who knows brotha. Macronutrients are very individual depending on the person. Not just size/age either... Activity level.. and other huge factors come into play when figuring out your own macros. I will have something in the near future that will lay this all out for you and make life easy :) Don't worry about sodium as long as you're pretty consistent with your level of it and you're drinking lots of water.

[@DavidIknaian]

I got this belt about 3 weeks ago and love it. It's the 10mm it is a little comfortable but I'm getting used to it. Mine came in 5 days(black color), I think yours took longer because you got a blue one which I was reading they have to make specific colors to order and only have a few colors stocked. Anyways nice video. Make some more training videos.

[@ninjabic]

Nice review. I find the Inzer Forever a bit too restrictive for me personally on deadlifts. Love the belt though as it's pretty much bullet proof. Those adipower look pretty unbreakable as well. Mirin the pumpkin pie pop tarts... I've never been able to find that flavor here in Washington.... =(

[@jeeky465]

Thanks brotha! Same to you

[@aarondelacruz]

when do you order the belt?

[@chonskeee]

how does this compare to the elite fts lever belt?

[@2daih4]

How would determine a size I believe the sight sets a Med 30-33 And Large at 34-38 And I wear a size 33 pair of jeans

[@jeeky465]

@ninjabic Nice man! Yea some people are restricted on their deads but I LOVE mine for deads tbh. Bulletproof sounds accurate. Pumpkin pie is pretty awesome dawgg. Trust me ;) Thanks for the input homie !

[@Jansori7347]

Go to your local sports store/shoe store and try on adidas running shoes. If you get the size for those, you should be able to fit into that same size for the adipowers. That's what I did.

[@maeishoj]

What if it is too big? is it adjustable?

[@pt191145]

I opted for the 10mm in black...best 65 bucks I've ever spent.

[@Papojijo]

Do you even heavy squat or deadlift?

[@mattjackson710]

What is the effective heel height?

[@jeeky465]

@ladicius I'm probably a 28-29 in contest shape.. and ~32-33 right now... I got a medium and it fits EASILY... I can go 3 holes larger.. and like 5+ holes smaller...

[@jeeky465]

Valsalva technique brah. Don't put air into your chest-- put it into your stomach to create intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) for your lift. Keeps things tight N right ;)

[@mattmcginley7]

13 is 30% thicker. Unless you're deadlifting and squatting in the 600 range, the 10mm should more than suffice.

[@ginosanchez7]

solid reviews man, keep it up.

[@jeeky465]

@leanbodylifestyle Awesome man! Good to hear.. No problem at all for the review. I figure.. if I was someone interested in these products I'd have nowhere to look for a review so why not get it out there. I wouldn't want you guys gambling with your $ to find out if something is worth it in the end...

[@peterdaskalakis]

where can u order one?

[@peterdaskalakis]

Where can I order one?

[@ElemenohpeeHD]

my pants size is 30 what size belt do i order?

[@jeeky465]

That or choose the adipowers in a half size down :)

[@rspkk0]

lavado what shoes do you wear for deads now

[@borehag]

Can these be used for deads?

[@jeeky465]

@brandtmark1 Thanks man. I say this because I know LOTS of people who have ordered this PARTICULAR product.. and it has ALWAYS taken many weeks to reach their doorstep..

[@matthewleonard1402]

Not even joking.... my inzer lever belt arrived whilst watching this vid :D

[@ladicius]

@jeeky465 thanks again, bro. i appreciate the feedback.

[@jeeky465]

@hayden0790 Awesome man! Glad this could help.

[@jeeky465]

@poppadop89 I thought I replied to this already! Guess not. Use them for ANY squat.. It will be solid for all.

[@jeeky465]

Lemme know how it goes!

[@jeeky465]

@UploadedProduct Of course man! Pop tarts.. Ice cream.. whatever you want ;) Just gotta know how to calculate your intake

[@flexforall2]

yeah bro... You should be training like an olympic lifter since your goal is bodybuilding. Didn't you know that?

[@lambo5277]

Do a video of how it is now!

[@Caritoooo]

Yo what size is this?

[@adamwittman]

To break in a belt fast use 90percent isopropyl alcohol rub it in the belt by washcloth. Then coat belt in Vaseline and rub it in. Youll love ut

[@jeeky465]

Honestly.. I would get a Medium @ a 34" waist! That's not much bigger than my waist and I'm nowhere NEAR big enough for the biggest setting on my Medium 13MM belt

[@jeeky465]

@NwodAFoMetsys1118 You are GOLDEN bro. You described my exact measurements. I'm about a 32-33 right now.. When I'm in contest shape I'm around 29 probably. I have a medium belt and it can get WAY tighter.. and WAY looser.. Probably good for like a 28 to a 36-38 tbh

[@jeeky465]

I don't see why not. Once you feel the quality you will see why I say it's not easy to 'break the lever'

[@jeeky465]

@KayweeFitnessForLife Walmart I think :)

[@denMundhalten]

what do you mean breathe with your stomach???

[@PatrikN793]

Good review bro!

[@indooivila745]

Got mines today, same color same errything

[@shracid7898]

Just ordered one in black, I live in the states so hopefully it will come soon.
