    Default Buying a new belt, need input.

    So I've decided to go with an Inzer 13mm lever belt. I'm sick and tired of my bull crap 2 prong belt. Don't ever buy a double prong, it just infuriates you.

    My dilemma...

    Do I go with the standard black color, or do I go with the good ol' Red White and Blue so that I can scream "America!" whenever I use it?

    Your suggestions are welcome.

    Code:
    def color():
        return input("Enter belt color: ")
        print()
    
    def result(u, c):
        print(u, "recommends", c)
    
    def main():
        beltcolor = color()
        result("Carnivroar", beltcolor + ".")
    
    main()
    Enter belt color: black

    Carnivroar recommends black.

    Don't ge me wrong. I am ethnically Korean, and as much love as I have for my motherland, I pledge allegiance to the Stars and Stripes. However, I would think you were kind of a douche if you had a red, white and blue belt.

    Keep it understated here.

    For one, double prongs offer nothing over single prongs short of a catastrophic failure, and even then if one prong of two is no good, the belt itself is still useless. Also, to get it tight enough on my chub, I have to use the power rack to tighten it, and trying to get both prongs into their respective holes is a huge PITA. If I were to do it over again, I'd go with a single prong or the level belt from the start, but c'est la vie. You live, you learn.

    EDIT: It's also a huge PITA to take off.

    Not about the color, but why 13mm? 10 mm is plenty, at least for me. The lever sounds very cool, I wish I had gotten one myself.

    This thread is about my love for America and whether or not I should portray it with lifting attire. Please stay on topic.


    Also, I doubt you are getting your belt very tight. I can tighten mine fairly tight with just my hands, but using the power rack makes a HUGE difference in how tight I can stay during my lifts.

    I very well may go with the 10mm due to the price difference. My current belt is a 10mm, but I figured if I were upgrading, I might as well go the whole 9 yards.

    I never used a 13 mm belt, but I have used a very stiff 10 mm (not mine). It was a pain in the ass to wear, when I did get it in, it took me forever to get out of it. I was standing there for a good 5 minutes looking like a constipated epileptic trying to get out of it. But I'm really talking though my ass here, maybe the 13mm is better after all.

    I don't know, I think it's a little over the top. I'd get a navy blue one if I were to buy a new one, but that's just my personal preference.
