[TK62]

any recommendations of where to buy a weight lifting belt in nz online or in person in auckland?

i am interested in buying a 4" belt just wanted some input about the differences in the 4" and 6" belt.

Sorry TK, I've never used one myself so I don't know. I'm sure there's somone on the forum who can answer your question though.

Buy then from trade me, dirt cheap.

As for 4'' and 6'',

4'' will be fine, 6'' can be a bit restrictive on some movements.

I use 6" for squats and deads and 4" for whatever else.

6" bit anoying at times

I dont like relying on any assistance aids myself (gloves, wraps, straps lifting suits etc) but the guys at GetStrength are a good source for training equipment and advice. I got a nice chin/dip belt from them. Couldn't see any weightlifting belts for sale on their site though.

I got one from these guys also and have been very impressed so far. Also picked up some knee sleeves and wrist wraps in the same order so made the most of shipping cost.

Hi Marcus, what exercises do you use the wrist wraps for?

[Marcus]

Hi Orange, I use the wraps for most pressing exercises. I have very small wrists and they have caused me a lot of problems in the past, until I started using wrist wraps.

Did you try strengthening your wrists by using a low pulley cable or dumbell wrist curls?

[Laver]

If anyone is going to make an order from the site mentioned above, ~prowriststraps.com; PM me and we'll go halves on shipping; I want to buy some knee sleeves from them.

This is a standing offer from me, I'm not gona buy them till i got somebody to split shipping with.

I did try some strengthening exercises and also saw a specialist when I injured my wrist. I was told I needed surgery. However after using wraps the injury seems to have healed itself. Strange I know.
