Hack Athletics Premium 13mm Lever Belt (4 Claw)

Do not measure your Pant size/ Waist Size. With your clothes on measure the area around your belly button with a flexible measuring tape. Use the sizing chart provided to find your exact belt size based on your measurement.

Our belts have a buffer on both sides, allowing for adjustment in case you bulk up or slim down in the future.

Position the belt directly below your rib cage and above your hip bone for the most secure fit. The tighter the belt, the more stable the buckle will be.

Avoid placing the belt too low on your hips, as this may cause discomfort or slippage, and too high on your rib cage. The optimal placement is just below your rib cage, ensuring a comfortable and supportive fit.

Our belts are specifically designed to enhance intra-abdominal pressure during breathing. As you inhale, your midsection expands and presses against the belt, which in turn stabilizes your core and enhances your overall strength and performance.

When you first receive a new leather belt, it may feel stiff and rigid. However, with use, the belt will gradually adapt to your body and become more comfortable. Typically, just a few workouts will help break in the belt. To speed up the process, you can gently roll the belt back and forth in your hands. However, be careful not to roll the belt too tightly, as this could damage the leather or suede.

Our belts are durable and can last a lifetime. The metal lever on Lever Belts is also sturdy and reliable. Most of our athletes and customers have never experienced a broken lever. If you frequently drop your belt or hit the metal lever, it could potentially get damaged or even break. We recommend handling the belt with care and avoiding any unnecessary impact to ensure the longevity of the product.

The 13mm lever belt is designed for intermediate to advanced powerlifters performing near-maximal or competition-level squats and deadlifts. Its extra thickness provides maximum rigidity for intra-abdominal pressure support. If you are still developing your lifting technique or training at moderate weights, the 10mm or 7mm options are more appropriate starting points.

The 13mm lever belt carries a 30-day warranty against defective materials or faulty workmanship from the date of purchase. The metal lever mechanism carries a separate 6-month warranty. To claim, email hello@hack-enterprises.com with your order number, description of the issue, and photos or video of the defect.

Yes. The Hack Athletics 13mm lever belt is manufactured to IPF specification — 10cm (4 inches) wide, 13mm thick, with a rigid lever buckle. It is competition-ready for most powerlifting federations. We recommend confirming the specific rules of your federation (IPF, CPU, SPF, etc.) before competing.

The Carbon Fiber variant features a premium carbon fiber texture finish on the outer leather — a visual and tactile upgrade. Both versions use identical 13mm leather construction, lever mechanism, and 4-inch width. The functional performance is the same; the carbon fiber is a premium cosmetic choice.

Yes. Lever belts are fully adjustable using an Allen key to reposition the lever on the belt holes. This allows you to set the tightness precisely and change it as your body composition changes over time. Unlike prong belts, lever belts cannot be adjusted mid-set — they are set to a fixed tightness before each training session.

Wipe the inner surface with a slightly damp cloth after sessions to remove sweat. Allow the belt to dry naturally — never store it damp or near heat. Occasionally apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the outer surface to prevent cracking. Avoid dropping the lever buckle on hard surfaces as this can bend or damage the mechanism.

When fastened, you should be able to slide two fingers between the belt and your abdomen at rest — but when you take a deep breath and brace, the belt should feel snug and the lever should be fully closed. If the lever will not fully close, size up. If the belt slides during lifts, size down.
