b) http://www.getprice.com.au/Phoenix-F...--38548720.htm (countoured shape-bad/good?)

I'm buying a belt. a)=60 bucks, pre postage. b)=70 bucks, pre postage. Theres a suede phoenix (b) belt too- whats the difference? Comfort? anyone have any experience between the two?

Both Leather, 4 inch, looks to be about 1/2 inch thick, non-tapered, quick release, double stitched. Don't mind the price- everything down here is a rip off. Anyway, what are your thoughts? These are two of the very few non-tapered available online actually.

Thanks

both look fine to me. Almost the same price as an American Inzer belt, which works great for me.

The Pheonix has a shitty buckle. I don't like those buckles personally.

No experience with either, but I'd go with the first one.

I second the Inzer suggestion. I am on my third Inzer belt in fifteen years(due to weight gain). Loved everyone of them. You aren't going to wear them out. Fantasitic belt.

Nver hade one fromn Elite Fitness Systems, but I am sure they are as good if not even better, based on my dealings with their products.

If you are going to be training for a long time I suggest just coughing up the money and buying an inzer lever belt, sure they aren't cheap but they are about as good as a belt gets and unless you pack on a huge amount of weight you'll never need another one

This might be an option. Is "Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation" kinda like a Flux Capacitor for your back?

I got a 10mm x 3 inch Inzer 2 months ago and love it.

I got this one http://www.inzernet.com/detail_belt....VER_LEVER_10MM and the lever mechanism is really nice.

The lever tightens or loosens the belt by about 3 inches. Done with a set, flip and breath, good for the next set, flip and lift. very, very easy.

I highly recommend it.
