Should I buy a new belt?

[MikeJanell]

I consider my pant waist size to be a 34. A large for a lever belt is a 34-38. Do I need to get a belt that is slightly smaller than my waist size to get a tight fit? I really dont wanna buy a belt thats too big

Get a tape, measure where you'll wear the belt. Usually around the navel. Belts often have a couple inches of extra holes either way and it's statistically more likely that you'll gain inches than lose inches.

I prefer single prong over lever because my waist size fluctuates and so do my preferences for tightness.

Call Inzer. They will be able to answer your questions definitively.

Gonna call tomorrow for fitting.

Last question before I purchase - whats the difference/advantages between one and two prongs. Which would you recommend.

[gzt]

Double prong is a hassle. There aren't any advantages to double prong, in my opinion, but I'm sure somebody will make some up. Single prong is easier to fasten and unfasten and is plenty secure.

I have a double prong and wish I would have just gotten a single. It's not a huge deal, but a single would be a little easier and I don't see any downside.

Also, I've heard others recommend against the lever style. I've never used one, but I think the argument was that it is easier to control the tightness of a normal belt versus the lever.

I echo the double prong sentiment. There is nothing wrong with it save for the fact that it is a tad bit more difficult to don/doff.

Regarding the lever, if you use the same belt tightness for all of your lifts, it is worth the extra $ for the hassle it saves. However, if you use a different hole for your deads than you do your squats (i wear mine a hole tighter on squats) than the lever is not the belt for you as it takes a screwdriver to move up/down in holes.

I measure about 37 1/2 around the stomach with a tape measure. I have an Inzer Large and I'm on the third hole from the bottom; I can go 2 holes smaller, or many more larger before modifications are necessary.

Do your trust that your pants acutally measure the same as your waist? I wear a 34 in Wranglers, but my waist measures 36 with a tape.

[MikeJanell]

not really more hoping and praying. I am fairly thin around the waist though.
