What Makes the RDX Powerlifting Leather Gym Belt a Must-Have?
With a myriad of options available, it’s only normal to wonder about the specialty of RDX leather lifting belts.
Well, RDX never settles for mediocrity. Always in pursuit of excellence and innovation, we ensure that we inculcate that in every product of ours. The lifting belt is no less of an example.

Reinforced with dual stitching and 6 strong rivets, the belt secures like no other. With a reliable construction and contoured fitment, the belt acts as the best companion for successful lifts.
While other belts will easily break under heavy lifts, this will stand strong in the face of adversity.
Dimensions
Our weightlifting belt is designed with a 4 inch width for optimum abdominal pressure and a perfect fit.
Available in sizes from extra small to extra large, the length of the belt comes in a minimum of 23”-30” for extra small while the extra large size boasts a length of 41”-48” for customised support.
Certification
When it comes to safety and security, mere words don’t cut it. This is why our belt is accredited by the United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) and the International Powerlifting League (IPL).
Additionally, it is approved and recognised by the World Powerlifting Congress, making it the perfect choice for athletes competing in national and international events.
These accreditations herald that the belt meets the highest standards of rigorous safety and performance guidelines. Ensuring reliability and durability, the belt is stamped as the best weightlifting belt for gym and competitive settings.
Custom Fit for Personalised Comfort
The fitness and comfort of the belt is very much dependable on the fastening mechanism of the belt. Which is why RDX ensures not to compromise there.
Our adjustable weightlifting belt is strengthened with a double prong steel roller belt buckle with 12-holes precision placeddesign, promising a sturdy closure. Supporting maximum adjustment, it allows you to lock the belt towards the last hole, ensuring it stays in place no matter how dynamic the lifts are.
Plus, unlike standard buckles that corrode over time, it is rust-resistant, which further adds up to the belt’s reliability.
To ensure superior adjustability and comfort, the resilient cowhide leather also plays its part, ensuring it doesn’t slip or ride during your gaining sessions.
However, in order to ensure accurate fitting, it is imperative that you are aware of how to measure your waist to place the order for the right size. If you haven’t been able to find the right belt for your size yet, there might be a chance that you’re measuring from above or below the belly button.
Make sure that you measure across the belly button for the accurate size. Consult the sizing chart given on the website to pick the one that suits you. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the upper size for maximal utility and comfort.
For example, if your waist is 33” which falls in both the small and medium sizes, choose the medium belt size.
How the RDX Leather Gym Belt Boosts Your Performance and Protects You
The RDX gym belt offers a range of practical benefits to amp up the strength potential without prioritising safety. Here’s how it boosts your performance:
1. Enhanced Lower Back and Core Support
Research proves that wearing a durable lifting belt increases intra-abdominal pressure. Increasing this pressure increases core stability, which is essential for positioning under hefty loads.
It also leads to muscle activation of lower back region, which leads to an escalation of force output. This means that you will be able to lift heavier without the risk of injury because you don’t rely on smaller muscles to do the powerful job.
Our belt’s robust design provides firm core and back support for lifting, effortlessly bearing the load of compound lifts.
2. Reduced Risk of Injury
Prevention of injury is the first reason to use a weightlifting belt. The belt diminishes the pressure on the spine, promoting a safer distribution of weight throughout the body. It also compresses the abdominal area to create pressure, which reduces strain on the spine.
This ensures that you have the right posture during the lifts, integral in defining your lifting techniques, leading to a significant reduction in the chances of hyperextension and hyperflexion.
3. Comfort Without Compromising Mobility
Crafted with superior leather, the belt is mindfully designed to contour to your body without restricting mobility or range of motion.
The buckle system supports a snug fit without hindering comfort or flexibility when lifting heavier loads. Despite the sturdy build, the belt ensures utmost comfort without digging into your skin or intruding into your reps, making it the best powerlifting belt.
4. Improved Performance
A weightlifting belt allows for the loading of heavier weights and training at higher intensities. A study proves that lifters who used a belt were able to increase their reps and train closer to failure, leading to better muscle growth.
This happens due to the intra-abdominal pressure exerted by the belt and the muscle engagement in the lumbar spine. The enhanced stability and support leads to a notable difference in the maximum lifting capacity, enhancing the overall performance in the gym.
Versatility for All Types of Strength Training

The belt ensures full range of motion during explosive lifts to support the most demanding weightlifting needs.
It also services the needs of enthusiasts interested in CrossFit workouts as well. The cardio-based or dynamic movements like kettlebell swings require a lot of functional strength and support, which our belt is aptly suitable for.

How to Wear and Use the Powerlifting Belt Appropriately: Getting the Best Fit for Maximum Support
In order to secure maximum support, it is essential that you have worn and adjusted the belt accurately. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to wear a weightlifting belt:
- Position the Belt
Positioning is very important. Make sure the powerlifting gear is placed around the waist, directly over your abdominal muscles. It should sit below the rib cage to support your core.
- Tighten the Belt
Tighten the belt by securing the buckle and inserting the prong through the appropriate hole. It should be tight enough for a firm support but not too tight to restrict breathing or movement. You should be able to take a deep breath and feel the belt braced against your core.
- Adjust for Specific Lifts
Different lifts would require you to position the belt accordingly. Squats and deadlifts would require you to position the belt in the middle of your waist for enhanced back support. Dynamic lifts like clean and jerk demand the belt to be a bit higher for better mobility.
- Breaking in the Belt
To break in the belt for a comfortable experience, wear the belt for lighter workouts before using it for heavier loads. Religious use of the belt would soften the leather, allowing it to mould to your body shape. Another way to break in the leather is to roll the belt gently to loosen it without compromising on its integrity.
