There are a lot of different types of weightlifting belts on the market and not every lifting belt is created equal.

Three of the most popular and commonly used lifting belts include velcro belts, prong belts, and lever belts. These weightlifting belts are all built slightly differently to accomplish different goals.

In this lifting belt comparison video, I sit down with Basement Brandon to discuss three popular lifting belt types and when to use each.

As with most things in the gym, there's a lot of nuance and context that goes into selecting the best lifting belt for your needs.

If you're newer to lifting and like to do cross-training, then a velcro belt can be a great starting point.

For powerlifters and athletes getting more specific with their strength work, prong and lever belts can be great options.

At the end of the day, before you buy your next or first lifting belt it's a good idea to spend a little time doing some research to make sure the weightlifting belt in question aligns with your needs.
