ModiFit Powerlifting Belt - Sizing Information

Each belt has 10 holes spaced over 9". The info below shows which belt will be the best fit depending on your waist measurement (as detailed below). To confirm - do not rely on your trouser size as this is often different to your belly button measurement.

Although the holes are spaced over 9" the info below is for holes 2 to 9, leaving one hole spare at the start and end, as really you don't want to be on the last hole on a belt.

It is better to be near the bottom of a larger belt than near the top of the smaller belt, as you will have more of the end of the belt to hold onto when tightening and loosening the belt. This is especially important on a powerlifting belt due to their thickness.

Just to stress - we do not recommend buying a size where you are on either the first or last hole. If you are unsure of sizing please give us a call and we'll be happy to help!

PLEASE MEASURE YOUR WAIST AT YOUR BELLY BUTTON. THIS IS WHERE THE BELT IS GOING TO SIT AND THIS MEASUREMENT IS LIKELY TO BE DIFFERENT TO YOUR JEANS / TROUSER SIZE. PULL THE TAPE MEASURE TIGHT BUT DO NOT BREATHE IN OR SUCK YOUR STOMACH IN.

NEED SOMETHING BIGGER?

We can make belts longer than those available here; a 60" long belt for example will fit up to 57" but if you need longer than that this isn't a problem. Typically a custom length belt costs an extra £10-15 the price above and takes 5-6 weeks to make and send from our manufacturer. If you'd like to order a custom length belt please email us here. Please let us know which belt you like and also what your measurement is at the belly button, so that we can work out what length of belt you'd need.

Meets IPF Spec - Not IPF Approved (see below for full info)

These are to IPF spec from Technical Rule Book 2014 (updated January 2014). Please note, these are heavy duty powerlifting belts that will be really stiff when you first get it. If you've used a decent powerlifting belt before you will know this and know it takes a bit of time for it to break in! Fortunately, as these are our Elite belts, the leather is already pretty soft, so break-in time will be minimal!

Belt is 4" wide (10cm).

Segment from IPF Rule Book detailing belt dimensions:

Belt
Competitors may wear a belt. If worn, it shall be on the outside of the lifting suit.

(b) It shall not have additional padding, bracing or supports of any material either on the surface or concealed within the laminations of the belt.
(c) The buckle shall be attached at one end of the belt by means of studs and / or stitching.
(d) The belt may have a buckle with one or two prongs or “quick release” type (“quick release” referring to lever.)
(e) A tongue loop shall be attached close to the buckle by means of studs / or stitching.
(f) The name of the lifter, the lifter’s nation, state or club may appear on the outside of the belt.

Dimensions:
1. Width of belt maximum 10 cm.
2. Thickness of belt maximum 13 mm along the main length.
3. Inside width of buckle maximum 11 cm.
4. Outside width of buckle maximum 13 cm.
5. Tongue loop maximum width 5 cm.
6. Distance between end of belt and far end of tongue loop maximum 25 cm.

Why Isn't This Belt IPF Approved?

We get a lot of messages asking if our powerlifting belts are IPF approved. Previously any manufacturer making supportive equipment simply had to follow the rules laid out by the IPF in terms of belt thickness, width, length etc., and this was enough to be approved. This is still the model followed by the IWF for weightlifting. Unfortunately in 2015 this changed to a pay per product model, i.e. the manufacturer would pay a fee for their belts, a fee for knee wraps etc., with the license running from Jan 2015 to Dec 2018. The new approval list will be released Jan 2019 and so we have received pricing from the IPF. The price for approval for belts is 7000EUR, which is not too bad – although there are 3 categories – Prong (single and double), lever and quick release, so if we wanted all of our belts approved we’d need to pay 3 x 7000EUR. Unfortunately any equipment manufacturers seeking approval also HAVE to buy a sponsorship package. The minimum tier of sponsorship is 30,000EUR per year and minimum of 4 years. Clearly 51,000EUR a year for 4 years is a fat whack of dosh. If we sold 1,000 belts that would equate to 51EUR per belt. 95% of our customers are simply looking for a great belt at a reasonable price. We know our belts are already used in BDFPA meets, but we will also be contacting as many other UK federations to check whether our belts meet their approval. We understand many people who are asking about IPF approval need it for a local competition who simply refer to equipment being IPF approved when in fact they may not need to be. Just wanted to make people aware when they ask about IPF approval, as the costs involved are astronomical, when once they were zero.

BDFPA, ABPU Approval

Good news however is our belts are approved for use in federations such as BDFPA and ABPU, as well as other federations. Our belts meet typical specifications in most federations, the only federations where you cannot use our belts are ones where they state explicitly that equipment must be on the IPF’s approved equipment manufacturer list. Typically these federations ask that the belt is no more than 4″ wide and less than 13mm thick, as well as a few other things. Our belts meet this spec, but if you’ve got any other questions, or if you’re not sure if your federation will let you use our belts then feel free to ask us.
