3" Belts

[Hdc]

Has anyone here used a 3 inch belt before?

I have a stupidly short illiac crest-rib area which makes a 4 inch uncomfortable when squatting, would a 3 inch solve my problems? Or should i stick with the 4 inch?

Thinking of buying from bestbelts (expensive, but quality).

Try it and see?

Belts are always stiff at the start and "cut in", I found them uncomfortable until I used it quite a bit and the leather conformed to my body somewhat. Try a looser setting to begin with and work your way up - alternatively wear an extra layer of clothing underneath.

I have a tiny torso and a 4" belt is fine

I have the same issue, tried a belt a 4" belt a couple of times. Not only was it extremely uncomfortable, but compromised squat depth (high-bar oly style) and actually caused back rounding in bottom positions. And at @180cm I'm hardly a midget, though relatively long-limbed and quite thin waist/torso.

As above, recommendations on 3" belts are welcome!

have you tried wearing it up at your upper abs?

If you're tall then check out vids of Konstantinovs when he wears a belt. He wears it high as fuck. Try that out.

I also have a short as fuck torso and my belt can dig in a bit but I wouldn't go any thinner for a belt.

If I wear a belt I like it up high as well but I'm weak so take that for what it's worth.
