About this item

- ✅ 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 Differences Between Our Two Weightlifting Belts
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Premium Nylon Self-Locking BeltThe nylon Self-Locking belt is the best option for the functional fitness athlete, gym goer, or the individual looking for the perfect balance of support, comfort, and mobility. The in-house developed nylon provides exceptional rigidity, tactile feedback, and breathability. Designed with a ‘function-first’ outlook, not only does the nylon belt provide quick tightening and loosening via the Self-Locking buckle and pin, but its flexibility allows for easy storage in your gym bag. Versatility. Functionality. Efficiency. No more rib bruising and skin pinching! The 100% nylon has been crafted to comfortably form to your lower rib cage and abdomen to generate ideal pressure without the pain. |
Common Features:
|
Hybrid Leather Self-Locking BeltThe first of its kind, the patent pending Hybrid Leather Self-Locking Belt provides the rigidity of a leather belt while combining the functionality and versatility of a velcro system. At 6.5-mm thick and 4-in wide, this is the perfect belt for Olympic Weightlifters, Powerlifters, and the experienced lifter looking to hit a new personal record. Achieve incredible support and efficiency in your lifts without those bulky metal levers, obnoxiously thick buckles, or obtrusive closing devices getting in the way of the bar or your mobility. This belt has been optimized to give you a more clear bar path while still providing the full support of a traditional leather belt. For the elite lifter, hitting that next PR means refining the details and being more efficient where it matters most… that’s where the Hybrid Leather Belt comes in. |
Sizing Chart
DO NOT USE PANT SIZE. See The Sizing Chart For Proper Sizing and Measure Around The Navel (Belly Button). 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.
Extra Small: 23" - 27" Around Navel
Small: 27" - 31" Around Navel
Medium: 31" - 36" Around Navel
Large: 36" - 40" Around Navel

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I think it is important that I begin this review by stating that when it comes to weightlifting belts, I’m in the mindset that they are not necessary. In fact, I did not think I’d ever use one until a fitness company (NOT Element 26) offered to send me free weightlifting belt, no strings attached. I was hesitant to accept their offer because I wasn’t sure I’d even use the belt, but I decided that since the belt was free, I’d try incorporating it into my heavy deadlift and squat days. I had recently noticed that my stability and form during these heavy days needed some improvement; maybe a belt could help. The day I received the free (not Element 26) belt, I immediately tried it on … and I immediately knew that I would never be wearing the belt during my workouts. The belt, although well made, was not comfortable. My biggest issue with the belt was that the back was wider than the front; this creates not only issues with comfort, but also functionality. I returned the belt and, oddly, I found myself a bit disappointed. By this time, I had talked myself into giving a weightlifting belt a try and I was actually looking forward to it. That being said, I did some research and decided I would purchase a belt that I felt would best suite my needs.
THE REVIEW
I chose the Element 26 Self-Locking Weight Lifting Belt because it seemed to offer the most bang for the buck while meeting my specific needs (although a 10mm thick, leather belt with a single prong buckle may provide a lifetime of unsurpassed support; I didn’t want the expense, nor the break in period typically required of these belts). From the moment I put the Element 26 belt on, it felt right. The width of the belt and the ability to tighten it exactly how I want it made the belt very comfortable. The self-locking mechanism made the belt feel very secure. The lifetime warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee made me feel like the financial investment (although minimal compared to some other belt costs) was well worth it. I was ready, and a bit excited, to put the belt to the test.
So far, I’ve used the belt for two heavy deadlift days and one heavy squat day. Please keep in mind that I am not a power lifter or anything. I’m lifting about 150% - 200% of my body weight during these exercises. My needs may be different than yours. Not being a belt user in the past, I cannot provide insight as to how the belt compares to the performance of other belts, but what I can say is that the belt has performed to my expectations … expectations set by the claims and descriptions found on the Element 26 website.
The belt is well made and appears to be very durable. I am not concerned about the build quality of the belt; I’m confident it will last a very long time. If something does go wrong, E26 offers a lifetime warranty.
I can adjust the belt to the perfect amount of compression; I’m not limited to a specific set of holes found on prong buckle belts. It’s super easy to adjust the belt too. I’ve seen guys at the gym wearing different style belts doing some pretty strange things trying to get their belt to fit just right. It looks awkward, to say the least.
The belt feels very secure when the self-locking mechanism is engaged; there is no slip or movement in the belt. It does not loosen up during lifts. This is extremely important to me; I want to know that the compression I feel during the first rep is the same compression I’ll feel on the last rep.
The belt is a great width, it does not interfere with my hips or ribs during any exercise. It allows for comfortable full range of motion from the start. I’m very surprised at how comfortable this belt is.
The belt is lightweight and doesn’t take up much room in a gym bag.
Being uniform in width all the way around allows the user to move the buckle to their side or their back or wherever is most comfortable for them. Regardless of where the buckle is, the belt is providing the same amount of compression all the way around. Note: I, personally, do not find the buckle to be uncomfortable anywhere along my waist; it never gets in my way.
I like how easy it is to “unlock” the belt after I complete a set without the need to completely remove it. I can quickly adjust the belt to fit loose around my waist while waiting to begin my next set.
Although I’m not concerned with my appearance and I’m the furthest thing from a fashionable gym goer, this belt does look great. Just because appearance isn’t important to me, doesn’t mean it’s not something others look for. If you want your equipment to be equally fashionable as it is functional, this belt should check both boxes for you.
When all is said and done, I am very happy that I made the decision to purchase the Element 26 Self-Locking Weight Lifting Belt. I’m so happy with the belt and the Element 26 brand that I recently placed an order for the Element 26 Padded Figure 8 Lifting Straps. I’ve also got my eye on the Element 26 Isoprene Polymer Hand Grips, but those will have to wait until I’ve got some extra cash to spend.
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.

Now I use it for weight lifting, especially if you want to better your posture and have support while using it. It's flexible and sturdy at the same time and it doesn't loosen up during workouts. Adjusting the belt is also very easy since you don't have to deal with belt prongs and holes. The width is reasonable and doesn't interfere with ribs, you can truly have full range of motion. Good quality, recommend it.
Initially, I was going to exchange for a smaller size, but the Support team responded quickly and helped me better understand how to tighten and size the belt.
