The BEST Weight Lifting Belts Sleeves and Wrist Wraps

[@chrisharlin7096]

Happy to hear someone finally mention joint health and longevity. At 48 years old, I can tell you, lifting heavy for years hurts. Great review

[@joebenson528]

i'm 27 and my knees are already f***ed jumping out of planes with 70lb packs and then humping 30 miles with 80-90 lbs total. And my back has 5 years max until I retire. Thanks uncle Sam.

[@HB41207]

As a 14 year old who wants to start competing but wants to put his health first (especially his knees, Osgood schlatters disease) do you think it's worth it?

[@baconslap9417]

HB wrestling id say so. Make sure you have load management nailed down.

[@MrSupernova111]

Mid 40s here and I can attest. I recently pulled a lower back muscle after many years of lifting and I realize now that my body isn't what it used to be. Any preventive maintenance is money well spent. It takes less and less effort to get hurt the older we get.

[@jawsuphjin]

You know, I really respect that you put timestamps and you are almost "quick" to the point. Almost like a really good essay. I really dislike some youtubers when they have a 'simple' question/answer video where it is 20 minutes long, and I have to search where the answer is. I love the timestamps and really makes it easier for the viewers. You got another sub

[@hammahtime63]

Bro you spit facts, the sling shot shit is the best on the market

[@RaineyPowerTraining]

There have actually been studies showing training with a belt may increase core activation due to the ability to brace even harder than without the belt.

[@randyle4520]

You are super beast bro . Dont ever quit on us (youtube fans )

[@dejavu3655]

My SBD has never bled. Why skimp on a belt when it’s the last you’ll ever buy? Or you can go buy a bunch of belts for $100 each. The SBD belt has been the best investment I’ve made. Depending on how much I eat and drink, my weight can easily fluctuate around 10lbs in a day. Never had to even think twice about having to remove or adjust my belt. This argument is like buying a cheaper bar or rack because it does the same thing. It’s all about choices. No regrets with SBD

[@richw76]

Also something else to consider with the no name lever belts. They use the cheapest levers they can source. I found one that was around 60$ I thought cool, looks like inzer at half the price....... Then 2 months in the lever completely cracked and broke apart in the middle of a heavy squat set. I almost injured me because I was bracing and it completely blew out . Luckily I was doing training max triples so I was able to get my bearings and finish the rep. They sent me a replacement lever but I don't trust it and it's been in my closet for over 3 years. I use a single prong belt that I love. If I ever tried another lever I would spend the extra for an inzer or another premium Brand like pioneer or best belts.

[@rickstark85]

Sounds like an RDX belt...

[@thundergod7344]

I payed 80 dollars my leaver belt and Just going to say the quality is amazing My friend has a 60 dollar leaver belt and the difference is crazy

[@dominicbrown8916]

Slapping the like button for support. Don’t stop KZbin!

[@meggypou361]

I will watch the whole video but time stamps totally help if someone wants to just watch a portion!!! Awesome job great idea for videos

[@giuseppeevans5631]

I respect you view but I’ve had my SBD belt for years and it’s been brilliant, still going strong and if it broke for any reason I would buy another one in a heartbeat. It’s true about the suede red bleeding on your shirts but I didn’t care because I wear scruffy shirts to the gym.

[@ayyjayy5018]

Just got my SBD yesterday and did my first session with it today, hit 2 back to back PRs, felt super strong

[@sqd8r]

OK. This was the best review of belts I have seen. Informative, hit all the major and minor pts and nuances in between and backed up with evidence. Thank you very much for this quality review.

[@NoFate247]

DANG! love the timestamps! Thank you

[@daronporter5538]

Great video bro in your opinion can you run in the gangsta knee braces

[@taran5767]

Holy shit, I was just YouTubing which weightlifting is best and got a wave of nostalgia from this channel! I didn’t know Nick was still making KZbin videos, I used to watch him back in highschool.

[@Pelon5211]

You’re seriously the best to watch man. The other dudes (which I also follow) are just for pure entertainment. I learn nothing from them tho... you’re the only one whom I can say I actually look and listen to and actually take your advice. Your vocabulary shows how intelligent you are. Please don’t stop.

[@joshuatanghal9921]

Pioneer belt with Pioneer cut. THE BEST.

[@dnalor8753]

Definitely, comes with a lifetime warranty too

[@zacharybloom5871]

Yessssss

[@HerculesAii]

Has anyone had experience with the pioneer belt pioneer cut as opposed to the sbd belt I’m between on or the other but can’t make up my mind!

[@blimp2920]

KremeOnHer what’d you end up getting?

[@tyler_100kg]

If this is still relevant i had a pioneer cut 10 mm and i just got a sbd belt and me personally i like the sbd better, I prefer the 13 mm belt over the 10 and i like the lever better than the prong. Never had any experience with a 13 mm pioneer but I absolutely love the 10 mm i just prefer sbd

[@nickallen2442]

Amazing video! So detailed and informative! Keep on making your videos Nick!

[@AngelMenendezFitness]

Great video bro crazy strong. Keep the good work Nick and keep inspiring others.

[@MrSupernova111]

Bro, finally someone that nailed it! I've been lifting for man years with no belt and no problem. But I'm much older now and the body doesn't respond like it used to. I think a lifting belt would be very beneficial for me at my stage in life. I appreciate the breakdown of the types of belts. I'm going with a 10mm belt. Thanks!

[@Antares332]

Nick, I remember your videos from the OG KZbin years. I hated your videos. I recently switched from bodybuilding workouts to Olympic lifting /cross training. I’m now glad I was reintroduced to your channel - I’m now a new sub. Keep up the good work!

[@bwarner96]

Great video Nick, keep your head up

[@LeonardoReyes-ob7hv]

First video I have watched from you and I definitely liked it. Subscribed.

[@slapto]

Nick, get a Pioneer belt to review!

[@mellomqrk9332]

personally ive worn out my slingshot belt so much that it would bend while deadlifting and squating, that's why I switched to the 32mm lever because it just really helped out my back, just my own preference

[@xIBleedSkill]

Thanks, Nick! Keep up the great work!

[@Flexatron86]

Good content as always. Keep up the phenomenal work.

[@tommypollard5880]

Just ready to see nick powerlift again and get his 6 plate squat and 630 deadlift, but still gonna stick around for the cut

[@troeuth]

I use the 36" gangsta wraps for my elbows. It works real good, and real supportive.

[@stevenfrye6942]

by far the best advice for lifting

[@alexpark1694]

Its come to my conclusion that the gear you use doesnt matter too much. What really matters is the work you put in

[@SgawCules]

It very well does when it comes to belts lmfao, wtf?

[@rumpelstillkills8036]

Just hit my first 140kgs on dead. I think I should get one. Great info.

[@bindog2753]

hands down - best review I've seen so far...... excellent job...... thanks for doing this review

[@bobauckland]

You mention how an advantage of a prong belt is adjustability so you can make it looser for deadlifts and tighter for squats, but surely thats one of the big pros of the SBD belt over the Inzer? Lever belt that's adjustable? Kick ass video though, thanks

[@berg6047]

4 years late but does anyone have any thoughts about the Inzer Meastro?

[@PG.Coaching]

Love your channel bro, keep it up

[@Johnny77mutt]

Elite FTS wrist wraps are real awesome too, had them for years for my girly wrists

[@Droverification]

So...if preferring Inzer over SBD almost exclusively due to price...you'd need to include the cost of the SECOND belt needed to for deadlifts, since it's not feasible to adjust an Inzer twice every week to be both tight for squats and loose for deads. With an SBD you only need one belt that adjusts on the fly for a looser fit as needed. Worth at least the price of two Inzer's for this reason.

[@jacobschultz8351]

Thanks for all the information I'm just starting to bulk up enough to start lifting heavier

[@RAMZAVFX]

Solid video, good info.

[@TehDCM]

How you not even gonna throw in pioneer belts? They’re the best in the business

[@VincentS988]

TehDCM He’s judging based on the belts and brands he owns

[@mattmorse830]

Pioneer makes the A7 belts.

[@rickycruz2742]

What’s the website for that

[@veyxxin]

Ricky Cruz generalleathercraft.com

[@dragos8839]

Yeah but they're expensive as fuck

[@rtd9628]

These review videos may not seem like their gonna get clicks or views now, but in the long run, they will be major. Dont quit.

[@CmonGiveMeName]

Nice video Nick!

[@dmetti5243]

His editing is top notch holy shit

[@RoblesLift]

You should try Pioneer Fitness/ General Leather Craft Belts

[@ZavierGreen]

Buy used belts on eBay prebroken in it just makes sense to me

[@hector_2999]

I just got a Pioneer PAL V2 13mm belt. Will use it for the first time tomorrow.

[@EnglandLives]

How you finding it? I'm thinking of getting either the Pioneer like yours or SBD belt

[@StevePCut]

we gotta see about getting you a Pioneer Cut to try out.

[@nickclaro5444]

those gangsta kneesleeves are a must for ego lifters like me lol. i bet i could squat 500lbs with those

[@omegavetrix5184]

How they do In terms of the durability and performance?

[@johnfernandez9308]

great review, dope you added time stamps, straight to the point and didn't babble like theses other reviewers

[@mattdouglas8900]

Pioneer also makes 36" wrist wraps with the belt loop thing. How can you recommend one company as having the best when you aren't even aware of what the industry is offering?

[@NickWright]

What do you expect of me!? Lol I'm just another lifter like you who happens to have tried a lot and done a lot lol. I left one brand out because I've never had a need to try it. There are hundreds of brands I didn't try or mention lol it's a video of my opinion based on experience as a lifter lol.

[@roni5125]

I recently got the Gangsta sleeves and I love them. Hands down the best knee sleeves out there. They aren't legal to ude in USPA, but it's not a big deal to me as I mostly compete in knee wraps. These sleeves give a lot more support and poptect my knee joint a lot better than the strong sleeves.

[@kenz063]

This was unbelievably helpful. Thank you!

[@jamz4473]

Absolutely love this review, and thanks so much for the time stamps. Would love if you also did a review on singlets to...overall a fantastic and informative vid

[@samuelball8775]

Great upload Nick.

[@gregorlynch5952]

Hey man, I know you said how you only get like 10-20k views. In KZbin terms yeah that’s a little shit. But imagine a 20k stadium full. A huge amount of people still loving the content !

[@scottgood7888]

Excellent review with experience. Thank you

[@supahfrogYT]

Nice video man, very informative. Keep it up.

[@Matdog2010]

I LOVE this vest for Running & Treadmill - Feel like a bad-ass

[@alexpark1694]

My guy u forgot Titan Support System wraps

[@StevePCut]

one thing about leather...pre broken in probably means it is cheaper leather that will not last as long and wil get waaay too soft eventually. you want the best quality leather that may start out harder but will slowly over time break in to your body and because of the use of premium leather, will last forever. just like baseball gloves...pre broken in means crappy.

[@lokiz0072]

Thanks for the time stamps bro, good stuff.

[@PrettyboyJay69]

I personally prefer a tighter belt on deadlifts then squats so I’m a huge fan of the inzer double prong belt

[@TheWildPickl]

Good points like your perspective on em !

[@lukeb.williams8986]

Nick needs to be introduced to Pioneer! They are at the top of the belt game!

[@VS-iv5uw]

Thanks man, really great advice all around!

[@flamingosarerad9362]

What about strength shop products? I like my strength shop products that I got for my first powerlifting meet

[@nurzyboyone8826]

Keep up the good work !!!

[@Jacare1973]

The regular strong sleeves & sbd sleeves seem to last the last the longest. I bought the gangster sleeves. They have the most compression but ripped after 5 months. At 27cm they are shorter than the sbd sleeves. Doubt I will buy them again. The sbd stiff long wrist wraps are the best by far. Five years old & still good. Inzer is the best IMO.

[@31IVI3jZ]

Thanks for the review on the inzer pulled the trigger on it

[@lukaqin]

Just stumbled upon this video. Thanks for the information! Keep up the good work!

[@njrivetelite]

Thank you for this video.. I'm getting back into lifting and will be needing some support items like belt & knee support.. but I may go ahead And grab wrist support too

[@TheColonelJman]

The stoic prong belt trumps the STrong belt. Like $75, 11mm and pre broken in as well

[@jimbyrd9124]

Hell yeah thanks for the info

[@Sithnix]

Pioneer belts are the best on the market rn just ordered my custom 13mm lever belt a few weeks ago

[@567Kriss]

I got the thiccer inzer lever belt.. I got bruised bad, I thought I didn't use it right. Glad to know others delt with my issue too. Also, I wear it only when I go heavy, Soo it's still not broken in and I've had it for about 17 months

[@isaacsaiz6934]

Where is shawley knee sleeves? Thought you were all homies lol

This is such an informative video! thankyou

[@Chiefbigcorn]

[@hunternaab12]

I've had an sbd belt for about a year and I've never had the red bleed that you mentioned. Might just be a defect on some belts

[@hechicagoify]

This was a great video.

[@jonathanaase934]

In my case buying the SBD was cheaper because the delivering of the Inzer belt would have cost $100… I live in Norway so it is understandable but still.

[@anthonybousejaan]

Great video. Well done.

[@Patty100ish]

Please keep your videos going...please please please!!

[@davemonk]

Just viewing this 3 years later. Are you still using your inzer? SBD is at around $225.00 right now. Hasn’t come down much in 3 years. Is there anything better than the SBD lever right now? I love your videos. You’re very matter of fact and honest. You’re also to the point, I had videos loaded with fluff. Thanks!!

[@NickWright]

I outgrew my Inzer and use my STrong belts for EVERYTHING these days. SlingShot also a new lever belt that rivals SBD in aesthetic for only $143 after you use my code "NICK10" on their site. Link: markbellslingshot.com/products/strong-lever-belt?_pos=1&_sid=6efb7a1a6&_ss=r

[@davemonk]

@@NickWright thank you!

[@alexmoon3130]

I have no intention of competing but I’m thinking of getting some sleeves. I know SBD has gone back to their old formula, with the knee sleeves, but do you still prefer the gangsta sleeves?

[@NickWright]

100% ESPECIALLY if you don't plan on competing. No better sleeve IMO.

[@53luis]

thanks for the code!! nice info

[@Frank-kw3tq]

Love the time stamps wish everyone did it thanks

[@Clashified]

Best crossfit knee sleeve? Is Gangsta too stiff for crossfit training?

[@RizeChrisPy]

“Dopest dope I ever smoked!!!” Awesome info, Nick.

[@T980J]

SBD is lifetime guaranteed. Also as a big dude, it was a little harder to find one my size, does inzor go to 5XL? My SBD was 350 NZ including shipping.

[@NickWright]

The Inzer Lever "Forever" Belt got it's name because it is also a lifetime guarantee. It was the original! I'm not sure what sizes they have at the moment. You'd have to look at their site, but considering they were the OG powerlifting brand, I would assume so.

[@ralphw52]

You need to get some belts and sleeves from Shawlly

[@TODOMATIO]

But Body Reapers is SOO beautiful w the skull and wings. To me SBD looks so heavy it's like a construction worker belt.

Tuff wraps are also very good wrist wraps and they have 3 sizes (16 24, and 36 inch). Should check them out.
