About this item

  • nylon
  • Imported
  • ✅ SELF-LOCKING SECURITY: Unlike other lifting belts that only rely on cheap straps to support your lifts, our weight lifting belt uses Self-Locking technology that will never wear down and risk injury during your olympic lifts. The self-locking buckle is extremely simple and easy to use, it releases immediately upon pulling the release roller, yet, will never open or slip no matter how big your lift! Quit worrying about your belt popping open, try the self-locking difference now!
  • ✅ FUNCTIONALLY DESIGNED: One of the most frustrating aspects of other exercise belts is the silly use of contour and tapered designs. A weightlifting belt is designed to create even, consistent, intra-abdominal pressure to increase your stability during your lift, it’s not a back support that others claim to be. To do this most effectively, a uniform 4 inch profile has been shown time and time again to be the most effective design by Powerlifters, Olympic lifters, and Functional athletes!
  • ✅ COMPETITION APPROVED: You know what is the worst? Buying a weightlifting belt and finding out you can’t use it in your competitions. The Element 26 Self-Locking Weightlifting Belt is fully approved for use in olympic lifting and functional fitness Competitions. Don’t be stuck having to buy twice, buy with confidence knowing this belt is approved for your competitions!
  • ✅ BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE: The E26 Self-Locking Belt is made from 100% Premium Nylon, Full Metal Self-Locking Buckle, doesn’t have silly padded inserts and mesh coverings which result in unequal distribution of pressure during your lifts and designed with only one purpose in mind… ultimate performance for functional fitness athletes.
  • ✅ ELEMENT 26 LIFETIME WARRANTY: The quickest way to tell if a product is of high quality is to look at the warranty the company provides. Cheaply made products have short or limited warranties because the companies know it won’t last a long time. At Element 26, we build only premium quality products and standby them with a lifetime warranty. If you ever have any problem, no worries, we got your back!

The Element 26 Self-Locking Weightlifting Belt

What Makes A Great Weightlifting Belt?

This is the question we started with when designing the Element 26 Self-Locking Weightlifting belt. We wanted ultimate performance, comfort, and security for Functional Fitness Athletes.

Next, ensuring the belt will never come loose during your sets by including the revolutionary Full Metal Self-Locking Technology. Finally, we put it to the test with some of the worlds top athletes competing in the most challenging fitness competitions in the world like the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Games, Wodapalooza, The Granite Games, and hundreds of local functional fitness, Olympic Lifting, and powerlifting competitions throughout the world.

A Small Gap Between The Two Sides Will Not Affect Performance As Long As The Strap Can Be Comfortably Placed On The Velcro. If The Belt Binds On Itself Before You Can Get It Tight Enough, It Will Effect Its Performance And You Need A Smaller Size.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid belt; slightly misleading
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023
Not a deal breaker per se but misleading.
As you see in the picture the locking cylinder is NOT BLACK but WHITE.

On the item page it shows BLACK and does not provide options to change the color, so I expected a BLACK LOCKING CYLINDER not white.

This is my second belt, first one was green (M) with a BLACK cylinder (Feb2023) . This one is (L), as I need more room for the time being. Again they are solid belts and straight forward, easy to transport (roll up in mesh work bag). Has been durable for 9 months.
