[@LazarusStirs]

Pioneer now has the "Pioneer Adjustable Lever" or PAL, that allows one to instantly adjust your lever belt in half inch increments over a two inch area with no screw driver. Only costs 65 bucks and works on any lever belt. For me it's made any and all prong belts obsolete. Even better than SBD since you get half inch increments.

[@JustLeein]

This must be in the states? I'd get that based on it being cheaper (and because pioneer has a great reputation). Thanks for letting us know!

If you powerlift, Pioneer isn't allowed in the USAPL or the IPF

i play football and i like to lift to aid my performance but after football im going to start powerlifting. i bought an inzer belt and an adjustable pioneer lever that just came out. It does the same thing as the sbd but a little better because there are 1/2” increments. Plus you save like 50+ bucks. The only problem with the lever is it is not yet ipf approved but it could be in the future. that doesnt matter to me yet tho. After football i plan to lift for a year to a year and a half before competing because I want covid to die down and i want to get used to powerlifting. You can also customize pioneer belts but that is sometimes really expensive. but if you already have a lever belt and dont care about no ipf rating on the lever, the pioneer lever belt is a way better option.

[@JustLeein]

Good insight! Definitely stick to what's affordable, especially if you aren't competing for a while. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@Spartan-ww3bb]

Just got mine I settled for and SBD coz ordering inzer belt with shipping almost cost the same as an SBD which is available in the country but like you said the belt is crazy good 👍

[@zzz-jj6zh]

When I got the belt, I almost didn't want to wear it because it looked so nice.

[@miguelcardenas8490]

Just a quick heads ups, both use the same type of leather just that sbd uses a dyed leather finished. Inzer uses a stiffening leather ourside of ithe regular 6.5mm piece of vegetable tanned Leather as a way to not soak perspiration and not deform over time, rhats why inzers last a long time. Overall inzer is a solid choice

[@kevinf.6847]

I was told horror stories about the SBD break in period. How bad was it for you? I am not nearly as strong as you as I just got started but I can see myself self lifting for a long time in the future and thought that the SBD will be a good lifetime investment. I also like the hybrid adjustment.

[@TheWarchiefZekeJaeger]

@@dipro001 Those are still rookie numbers, my man, you could use one if you feel your back alot, but even then I would recommend going raw for some time until you build up more core strenght and heavier lifts. But again, you can buy one regardless of anyone's opinion.

[@david15891]

They spiral them up in the box so they're already somewhat broken in when they arrive. Mine felt basically fine within a week. It might not be fully broken in yet, but it feels more or less okay out of the box and definitely good after a week.

I heard similar responses for people who went inzer->SBD belt. Some people compete with their Inzer just for dead attempts. I guess I'm lucky to feel a lot stronger on deads with sbd rather than my inzer :P.. Thanks for your input!

[@nikoladrpa4908]

@@JustLeein I’ve seen some people use a prong belt on deadlifts and the sbd on squat

[@JustLeein]

@@nikoladrpa4908 yo! yeah, I see the same trend going on too. I have a theory on why people do so. 1. The prong belt is a bit looser which many prefer on deadlifts. It's also a pain in the ass to tighten up the prong belt. Lastly, the prong belts are not nearly as chunky as the sbd belt out of the box. 2. The sbd belt is a very stiff belt. It comes out of the box like a 2x4 plank. Only after hours of physical manipulation does it somewhat shape towards a human waist. Also, the sbd belt can get extremely tight. Often people prefer a tighter fit on squats rather than deadlifts. I could be way off, but that's where my guestimation is at when I see people rocking both pieces of equipment. :p

[@zzz-jj6zh]

Measure both of your waist and check the sizing to see if one belt will coincide. Obviously buying separate belts are better depending if either of you plan on gaining or losing weight.

[@lvlogs-7931]

i dont recomend that cause the belt becomes the shape of ur body as you wear it and it wont be comfortable for either of u. btw ik im a year late

The name of the game is longevity, and you don’t want to miss out on gains due to injury. I recommend doing weighted Bulgarian split squats, walking lunges, and hip thrusts over the traditional barbell squat with a bad back. I missed out on 2 full years of gains because I was stubborn and had a similar attitude. It’s just not worth it, even if your form is perfect. I don’t want anyone to have to go through a completely avoidable situation like I did. Stay safe bro.
