The Forge is black on black

The Forge is matte black throughout, from the bound edging to the closure. The Strength Lifestyle lettering is embossed into the matte, suede-like surface and stands out only through the relief, not through color. No color accent, no pattern, no shiny detail; even the closure is black. If you do not want a belt that seeks attention, but one that simply does its job, this is yours.

The best weightlifting belt for functional fitness training and Olympic weightlifting

The "Petite" is the extra-narrow version of the 2POOD weightlifting belt, with a width of 7.6 cm instead of the usual 10 cm. This gives you significantly more room between your rib cage and iliac crest and restricts you less during deep squats, cleans and snatches. The core stability remains the same.

Every 2POOD weightlifting belt is equipped with the WODclamp™, a quickly adjustable double-buckle system with a hook-and-loop closure. This makes the belt perfect for functional fitness training, because you can switch between strength, gymnastics and cardio exercises without taking the belt off.

For fast workouts, the metal buckle is enough, so you can loosen and close the belt with one hand in seconds. When it is time for heavy weights, you additionally use the second buckle of the WODclamp™ and have a belt that is guaranteed not to come undone.

Move more weight with greater safety

Thanks to increased core stability, it is easier to maintain correct posture when lifting weights. This reduces the risk of spinal injury and lets you move more weight with clean execution.

The added stability can make exactly the difference that gets you to your next PR. However, a weightlifting belt must never replace the focus on performing the exercise correctly.

The high-quality belts from 2POOD are known for their durability and will serve you faithfully for a long time. They support your technique during heavy strength training such as squats and deadlifts, as well as Olympic lifts such as clean & jerks and snatches.

Worn by the best athletes in the world

How to find the perfect size

Step 1:
Use a measuring tape to measure your waist circumference at navel height while holding your breath in.

Step 2:
Find your size here. Important: If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller size.

  • XXXS: 65 - 70 cm
  • XXS: 70 - 75 cm
  • XS: 75 - 80 cm
  • S: 80 - 87.5 cm
  • M: 87.5 - 97.5 cm

The Petite belt is available up to size M. If you need L or XL, you can find these sizes in the regular 2POOD belts with a 10 cm width.

How to check the fit
When you have tightened your 2POOD weightlifting belt properly, the two ends of the belt should have a gap of about 2 to 5 cm, or at least not overlap.

Usage tips

The 85% rule

The most common recommendation for wearing a weightlifting belt is to use the belt as soon as you are moving more than 85% of your max. However, some athletes like the support even at lighter weights so they can continue to perform exercises cleanly when fatigued during the workout.

How to wear your 2POOD weightlifting belt

One of the most common mistakes when using a weightlifting belt is wearing it too low. The belt should sit at about navel height.

Care

The best care tip is to let your 2POOD weightlifting belt dry completely after every training session; then you will never have to wash it. If you do want to wash it, do so by hand with cold water.
