I am looking to get a belt and did not know where to ask so I decided to stop lurking and post. The belt I am looking to get is the Inzer forever belt 10mm. I've heard of the long shipping but I can wait for a month, losing fat so don't know what size to get. I am 229-231 pounds as of now, and still dropping. Started from 241 and plan on going to 200, and eventually 180. 180 wouldn't be until after November. At rest with a shirt on, my waise from the navel is 45 inches. I tried putting on a regular belt over it and tightening it to sort of simulate a lifting belt and was able to get to 37inches comfortably.
Should I go with the large? 34-38 or with the x-large which is 39-42?
Or should I wait until I get to 200 to buy a belt? Thanks

personally, i'd wait, but i don't know what your strength goals are or your lifting experience. unless you need the belt, i say lift raw. i like to hold off on any sort of support until i really need it; otherwise, you're handicapping yourself when you still have plenty of room to grow without it.

Where are you at this point ? Have you trained alot, or are you just a beginner ? Are you lifting Heavy or not ? More info would get you more answers, as your question is vague.
If you are fairly new to the game, and your weight is low, I would not buy a belt yet. You are better of developing your core at the moment and wait until you start doing max lifts to invest in a belt. Good luck.

Yeah, I consider myself new still. Only thing I am remotely proud of is my deadlift. Here are some stats:
Squat: 205 for 3 sets of 8
Bench: 180 for 3 sets of 5
Deadlift:275 for 3 sets of 2
I stared last year around January but didn't start seriously until May where I learned more. Doing a bodybuilding/powerlifting sort of split. Only thing I'd like to use it on is for my deadlifts, probably just anxious to hit a triple plate. Will probably hold off on the belt
