CLASSIC LIFTING BELT WITH A TWIST!

We have teamed up with Pioneer Fitness in the USA to bring you the CERBERUS X Pioneer 10mm Single Prong Belt. This belt features the patented Pioneer Cut which features two lines of offset holes, which allows you to tighten the belt in ½ inch increments instead of the normal 1 inch of other prong belts. This means you have a greater choice of adjustment for the perfect fit. The ½ inch adjustment also makes the belt much easier to buckle and unbuckle. This unique design means that regardless of bodyweight fluctuations due to competition prep, the type of lift or strongman event you are doing you will be able to get the fit just right.

The CERBERUS X Pioneer Cut 10mm Single Prong Belt has been made to the highest standards, with durability and quality in mind. It is 10cm wide and 10mm thick with high strength nylon stitching. The 10mm thickness of the belt strikes an optimal balance between rigidity and flexibility, offering substantial support to the lower back and core without sacrificing comfort or mobility. This belt has a pre “broken in” feel that makes it quicker to form around your waist, but remains rigid and very supportive - so you can be assured the belt will fit great and feel awesome!

How do Lifting Belts actually work?

A belt supports the back, this is true to a degree however not in the way most would think. A belt works by increasing intra-abdominal pressure by up to 40 percent! Increasing the intra-abdominal pressure provides spinal stability leading to greater force output. This intra-abdominal pressure pushes against the spine from the inside, whilst the core muscles of the abdominal wall and lower back push on the spine from the outside. These two forces (inside and outside pressure) acting against each other to stabilise the spine and reduce the stress on it. This is how your belt actually protects you from injury.

Does a Belt actually help Performance?

Research shows that WHEN USED PROPERLY wearing a belt can help you generate more force and bar speed on the Squat and Deadlift, which translates into higher one-rep maxes and more reps with any given weight.

When should you use a Belt?

You don’t need to nor should you wear a belt all the time on every exercise. Your belt should fit tight, if it feels comfortable and you can leave it on for your whole workout then it is not tight enough and you will not be getting any of the benefits from wearing it. It gives most of its benefits on lower body dominant exercises such as Squats, Deadlifts, Strongman Events and Olympic Lifts. As you get closer to maximum weight use the belt for performance and safety.

You should definitely NOT wear a belt if you have health conditions like uncontrolled high-blood pressure or conditions that can be exacerbated by intra-abdominal pressure like a hernia.

Sizing
VERY IMPORTANT! To find your size measure around your waist where you will wear the belt - usually around your belly button. Without sucking in your belly pull the tape measure tight. Subtract 1" (2.5cm) from this measurement and use the guide below to choose your size. If in doubt then choose the larger size.

Please note that although this sizing guide works for the majority of people, due to different body types there will be the odd occasion where you might want to exchange your belt for a different size - we will be more than happy to do this.
