Belt

[Mmll]

Hi Rip
Lifting belts are often advertised with size guides in inches, showing measurement ranges for small, medium, large etc.

If someone's measurements fall on the border of 2 sizes eg the upper end of large and the lower end of extra large, is it better to go with the smaller size or the bigger size?

Thanks a lot.

Depends on whether you need to gain or lose weight.

If you go for the bigger size and lose weight, you can punch more holes in. If you go smaller and gain weight, you need a new belt.

You can always punch more holes but you can't extend the size of it.
