NOOOO!!! Belt...doesnt..fit..anymore!

[Deciever]

While doing my ME squat the other day, i went to go throw the belt i usually wear on(double prong, powerlifting belt), and the worst thing happened.... IT DIDNT FIT.

Im usually on the very last notch, and over the last few weeks, i've noticed it was getting easier and easier to get into, so i figured the belt was just breakin in. Then this week i go to put the belt on and it was loose.. too loose to use for my enormous 215 double on the box, w/ mini bands. lol. Any way, it turns out with all the bikin i've been doing, i lost a few lbs, my waist got a bit smaller, and the belt is too loose.. i can practically slide my hand through the front of the belt when its on the last notch.

So i was stuck using one of those cheap belts that most gyms carry (i wa slucky enough to get a new cheap belt, but it still wasnt as good as the powerlifting belt).

So heres where i need help. Should i stick to using the cheaper belt. or should i try something like lining the pl'ing belt with sweatshirt or something to make it fit tighter??

I had the same problem...but I got mine as a hand me down from a friend. It was wayyy too big. I went to a shoe repair store and had them drill a hole(s) in it to make it more adjustable. I should have done it myself...just use a very small drill bit at first and go slow...the work your way up.

its my friends belt, he just lets me use it.. so i cant drill a hole in it.

Wow. I did not think you could get much smaller.

Can't drill a hole in it? Sure you can...just tell him that you left it in your car and it was attacked by a small pigme tribe of bees. What can he say?

Time to get your own big man.

This really does work. Take a towel, and fold it to whatever thickness you need, put it inside the belt then put the belt on your skinny waist. Or come and eat what I eat for a week or two and discover that the belt doesn't fit . . . for a different reason.
