2nd session with these today.
Warming up sleeveless w/ them folded and around my ankles.
Up for last warmups and then folded down off the quads between sets.
Left them up between 355X2 and 365X1

I picked up a stock 10mm untreated pioneer cut belt, a dip belt, and untreated lifting straps and saved a total of $30.

3 year review only because one of my lifting straps is starting to rip and I knew searching this thread would tell me when I got them;


10mm untreated belt is still quite stiff. Which is a good thing. And I really enjoy the Pioneer cut hole spacing.

Dip belt doesn't strike me as different from other leather dip belts I've seen. The rivets, however, seem undersized and weren't fully "blossomed." I have holes in the lower back of all my workout shirts from them.

One of the lifting straps is ripping after almost exactly 3 years. I don't know if that's par for the course or not. My DIY, non-sewed, Rip-style nylon webbing straps held up for much longer than that, and I'll have to go back to them for now.

Sale this weekend

Finally getting a custom belt.
I've lost 6" off my waist, and my large is on 2nd to last hole, so getting a medium.

Same color as the belt pictured, light brown dyed leather, 13mm 4" lever with black stitching, black edging, and black suede inner.
Laser burned Musk Ox image positioned the same as the wolf, but taller since i won't have a border, just the black stitching.
It never occurred to me to place the image there, but once i saw that, my mind was made up on getting the belt.
Putting the black PALv2 i already have on this belt, and the old v1 on my current belt.
I don't think i can bring myself to sell the large, it has been with me 4 1/2 years now and molded to my shape.
Also it still fits and has a hole left.
Now just the waiting.

I'll post more pics when it gets here and has the black PAL on it, as well as showing the black suede inner and black edge.
Stoked to be sure.

Thank you.
Got it in today.
After hitting it with some mink oil, it works great with the singlet.
Was pretty bright and jarring at first.
I am supremely happy.

Beautiful belt, @Wilhelm!

Now you've got me wanting a new one too. Ever since my last cut, which has been several years, I've been restraining the comically long loose end with a rubber band.

What would you get?

Pioneer, single prong, 4 inch, 10mm, double suede, forest green, small. (Not that I've given it any thought!) Having an awesome image on it like yours would be cool too - maybe some math or bike thing.
