Description
The belt that holds your form when the weight gets serious.
A weightlifting belt doesn’t lift the weight for you. It increases intra-abdominal pressure, stabilises your spine, and gives your core something to brace against — which lets you lift heavier, safer, and with better form on squats, deadlifts, and overhead work.
GYM HIGH 7mm Leather Weightlifting Belt is built from genuine leather with a tapered design — 99 mm at the back for maximum lumbar support, narrowing to 63 mm at the front so it doesn’t dig into your hips at the bottom of a squat or deadlift. Stainless steel two-prong buckle for a secure, adjustable fit that doesn’t slip mid-set.

What makes this belt different
📐
Tapered, not uniform width
Uniform-width belts (same width all the way round) dig into your hips and restrict movement at the bottom of squats and deadlifts. The tapered design — wider at the back, narrower at the front — gives you full lumbar support without that restriction.
🏋️
7mm — the sweet spot
10mm belts are stiffer and suit competitive powerlifters who need maximum rigidity. 7mm is the more practical choice for most lifters — stiff enough to provide real support, flexible enough to break in quickly and feel comfortable across multiple exercises.
🔩
Two-prong stainless steel buckle
Single-prong buckles are faster to put on. Two-prong buckles hold more securely under heavy load — which is why most serious lifters prefer them for max effort work. Stainless steel means it won’t corrode or weaken over time.
💪
Genuine leather — breaks in to you
Leather belts are stiffer out of the box than nylon alternatives. After a few weeks of use, the leather moulds to your body shape and becomes significantly more comfortable. Built to last years, not months.
Works well for
🏋️
Powerlifters and strength athletes
Squats, deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, overhead press — any compound movement where spinal support matters. The 7mm leather provides meaningful support without the break-in period of a 10mm competition belt.
🏅
CrossFit and functional athletes
The tapered front means you can wear it through varied movements without it restricting range of motion. Suitable for Olympic lifting variations and conditioning work.
📈
Intermediate lifters working up to heavier loads
As training weights increase, so does spinal load. A belt used correctly — bracing into it, not relying on it — is a tool for lifting heavier more safely as you progress.
👥
Male and female athletes
Designed to fit both male and female builds across sizes S to XXL. Sized by belly button circumference — not clothing size or waist measurement — for a more accurate fit.
Size guide — measure around your belly button
⚠️ Important — measure at belly button, not waist
Weightlifting belts sit higher than your trouser waist — at belly button level. Measure around your belly button with a tape measure for the correct size. Your clothing waist size is not the right measurement to use.
| Size | Inches (belly button) | Centimetres (belly button) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 27″ – 33.5″ | 69 – 85 cm |
| M | 31″ – 37.5″ | 79 – 95 cm |
| L | 35″ – 41.5″ | 89 – 105 cm |
| XL | 38″ – 44.5″ | 97 – 113 cm |
| XXL | 42″ – 48.5″ | 107 – 123 cm |

How to use
🏋️ Wearing the belt
Position the belt at belly button height — not at your hips. Fasten snugly enough that you can brace your core against it. It should feel tight when you take a deep breath and push out, not tight at rest.
📅 Breaking it in
Leather belts stiffen up new. Use it on your working sets for the first few weeks and it will mould to your shape. Most lifters find it reaches full comfort after 4–6 weeks of regular use.
£49.99. Genuine leather. Built to last years.
