Choosing the right belt size is the single most important step to getting real support from a powerlifting belt. 
A belt that’s too loose won’t stabilize your torso; too tight and you’ll lose breathing mechanics and comfort. 

In this guide, we’ll show you how to measure your waist, match it to the correct NBD Powerlifting size, and test your belt fit for squats, deadlifts, and other lifts. 

By the end, you’ll know exactly which size belt gives maximum support, comfort, and safety.

Why Belt Size Matters ?

  • Proper belt sizing ensures maximum lumbar support.
  • Prevents injuries during heavy squats and deadlifts.
  • Improves your lifting performance and stability.

How to Measure for Your Powerlifting Belt ?

Step 1 - Measure Your Waist

  • Use a soft measuring tape at your natural waist (usually just above the belly button).
  • Stand relaxed and exhale naturally.
  • Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 2 - Match Your Measurement to NBD Size

  • XS (23 - 33)
  • S (27 - 37)
  • M (31 - 41)
  • L (35 - 45)
  • XL (39 - 49)

Common Mistakes When Choosing a Belt

  • Picking one size too small → restricts breathing.
  • Picking one size too large → no support.
  • Ignoring belt width vs thickness → impacts comfort & support.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Where should a powerlifting belt sit?

Typically just above the hip bones - where it feels most supportive on your torso.
