3 inch weight belt - single or double ply?

[Matt Madden]

Hi everybody,

Before I start, I'm 6'2" 245lb, 37 inch waist.

I currently have a 4 inch Rogue double ply belt. After reading Mark's article (and saving some cash), I'm grabbing myself a 3 inch belt for deadlifts. I'm looking for opinions on whether it would be best to buy the single or double ply 3 inch belt from Dominion. Thanks for your help!

Get the double-ply. It's a nice piece of work.

Thanks, Mark.
