I don't know how much shipping costs for you but they definitely do international and this one costs me $40 (£27.50)
Inzer Advance DesignsDetailed Information
I don't understand how you can pay for a gym membership and all that but not pay for a belt?
I'll agree though the British sites are overpriced:
Power lifting equipment power lifting bars power lifting discs B P Sports - www.bpsports.co.uk
The "powerbelt two" is the exact same thing I have but it costs $100 (£70)? That is ridiculous....
Gym membership is £8 per month and my mum pays that not me. I would have to pay for the belt. Ill check out some international sites but I bet with shipping it wont be much cheaper...
Not worked out in almost 2 weeks. The main reason is because of my back and the other thing Iv just lost all motivation and right now dont really have any desire to workout anymore. Never felt like this before though, guess Im just tired of injuries fucking up my progress. When I think back on my training which has been around 18 months, Iv only ever stalled on squats, deads and bench once. Every other time the thing that has stopped my progress has been an injury. Iv made burts of rapid strength increases and been stopped by some sort of injury each time.
A while before starting the 5/3/1 I said to myself Im going to start deloading more in an effort to allow my joints, stabilisers and tendons to keep up with progress. This was an effort to stop me getting injured. Didnt even get to my deload week before my injury, and its not getting better in a hurry...
Fucking sucks I think Im gonna start going to the gym again and just doing what I can, Ill be able to bench but I cant squat, military or deadlift. Or any assistance which involves spinal erectors. So no lunges, rows, curls, RDL, weighted hypers or anything like that.
Im hoping when I lift again it will all come back and I will realise what Iv been missing and suddenly get motivated again...
EDIT: oh yeah and Iv run out of creatine and almost run out of whey, Im very short on cash too so I dont know when I will be able to replace it. Creatine is bottom of the list but I actually think when I added in a pwo shake it did make a differance to my mass gains. Until I get more when I start lifting I will probably buy a big bag of skimmed milk powder and add a portion to some 1% milk for double strength milk and have that post workout and also throughout the day. Its pretty good for bulking as the skimmed milk powder really boosts the protein and carb content. I forgot about it until lately, I used to drink the double strength milk when I first started and couldnt afford whey...

For me...if I order anything from the US the shipping can easily be $85. Then I have to pay 34% VAT on all clothing items...which includes belts. A $70 belt gets expensive very quick.

another one bites the dust.......
Seriously man just go do what you can do without injury if you man up and keep working hard you may feel like shit and not motivated but as soon as you get in the gym you'll feel great. MAN UP NEGRO! Maybe you need to do some more core exercises it could be that some muscles in your core (spinal erectors) are weak or something.

Nice workout dude! You're turning into a full bodybuilder lol! I'm liking the post-workout meal too, definitely want to get something in you if you are going to do a long walk like that.
Lol after the leg extensions I went to refill my water bottle and decided to hit a quick pose in the gym... well today was the first time Iv had a noticeable visible pump in my quads, they looked awesome lol.
And the time off from the gym has actually made me stronger by the sounds of it, this was a workout only 90mins or so after I woke up too when Im normally weaker...
Anyway it will be alot of leg press, leg extension and leg curl for lower body over the next few weeks until my back is better anyway
