We make belts to help you lift heavy.

Crush your PR's, grow as an athlete, and have fun while you do it. Learn more about why athletes around the world are loving our belts!

Why Should You Wear a Weightlifting Belt?

  • Prevent back pain

  • Reduce stress on your lower back

  • Prevent back hyperextension during overhead lifts

  • Provide core support when lifting 85% or more of your max weight

What Type of Belt Should You Wear?

4” STRAIGHT BELTS

Our straight belt is by far our most popular belt and is the Official Belt of USA Weightlifting. At 4" in width, it is USAW approved and provides the support you need without going too far in to middle of your back.

3" PETITE BELTS

Our petite belts are perfect for smaller torso'd athletes, and particularly small females. Sometimes the 4" straight belt can ride in to the bottom of the rib cage if you have a small torso, so the 3" Petite Belt eliminates that problem.

METCON BELTS

Our classic metcon belts have a width of about 6" on the back to provide support higher up the back. Some athletes who are lifting heavier and do not have any gymnastics or cardio to switch between will prefer the Metcon belts.

Why Get a 2POOD Belt?

There’s a reason that 2POOD is the official belt of the 2024 CrossFit Games and the Official Belt of USA Weightlifting. Learn more about features of their belts:
