    I used to see an online seller [size=x-small](if my memory serves me right)[/size] in Facebook Group Massthetic...
    Try mong i-dig doon sa group [size=x-small](kung member ka)[/size] kung binebenta pa. [size=x-small](Just sayin'.)[/size]

    I got the Valeo belt from an online seller sa sulit dot com. Its a single prong belt that is tapered sa front. I hated it because of the discomfort i get from it. Very flimsy and naiipit mga bilbil ko in between haha! I always wanted the Inzer Lever Belts they use in powerlifting in the US and couldnt find any here in the Philippines. But i found the next best thing the Titan Toro LEVER belt from the strongest man in the Philippines Mr. Eddie Torres. He was selling only one small size and i checked online and the last hole would fit me so i ordered it from him thru the phone. He was so kind and accomodating. Got my belt and i think its the best investment i had. Its really as good as the Inzer even the lever itself is of the same supplier daw, well that's what i read. So its not tapered, its 10mm thick and gives you a stable and even pressure both front and back because its not tapered nga. I know a lot of you guys say belting up is not good because it limits core activation but hey, at my age and the stubborn back pain i had before, im not gonna risk it. If any of you can find an inzer or any brand of lever belt i swear its worlds better than any shiek, valeo, harbinger brand that is not lever. Btw, im constantly doing my DL 315x5x5 and im in my 30's so inb4 weak comments. Oo na mas halimaw na kayo. Hehe. Safety first guys.

    Magkano kuha mo sa Toro LEVER Belt bro? I heard so much about mr. eddie torres, kung PL ka talaga, he's the right man to talk to. Gym Owner din sya ang alam ko eh.

    PL at OL. Dating PL st OL competitor kasi siya, now a coach. Nag-conduct sila ng seminar dati dito sa Pasig last first week of January. January 6, 2015 if I'm not mistaken. Few days matapos ko lang lumuwas pabalik ng probinsya.

    Oh no i am no powerlifter thats for sure. Im just two years in the gym i dont even consider myself a real bodybuilder. Yun nga lang nagkataon i thought i wanted a quality belt and "accidentally" found one here in the Philippines. 3.7k ata bili ko nun kay sir Eddie plus shipment to mindanao. The Titan model i got is as good as the Inzer belt as far as i know although there was an older version of my belt which had poor reviews abroad. It kinda looks badass in the gym pero the stability you get from it is way better than softer belts. Im not a really really serious lifter but i know some of you might actually appreciate it more than i do.

    1.5k-2k lang po ang aking budget sa weight lifting belt, baka po may nagbebenta sa inyo ng second hand na 11-13 inches double pronged na de-kalidad po na weightlifting belt. or ano po ang masasabi nyo sa belt na ito mga sirs?

    Not a big deal but, these comes in velcro straps, which are not polyester-friendly!
    But it appears cheaper than those sold in Chris Sports and Toby's Outlets, twicefold.

    ganito belt ko eversince. naka 3 nako nito. 2 years halos tinatagal nya. Ang bumibigay lagi yung strap. natatangal yung tahi or napuputol. Kaso ginagawa ko din kasi itong sabitan ng weight for dips and pullups, hip belt squats kaya nagagasgas yung makapal na tela.

    kung quality at price pwede na. tska sa strength level ko sakti lang to sakin. sa scolio ko naman ok din yung kapal nya for insurance. lahat ng PR karamay ko yung belt ko. siguro pag 400-500lbs na binubuhat ko magiinvest ako sa mamahaling belt na leather. parang exag magbelt ng malupit tapos less than BW lang binubuhat sa basics.
