Rogue Ohio Weightlifting belt one year review

Please also refer to my article "Which rogue belt to buy". All in all the best all purpose weightlifting belt I have seen in the market from a solid company with good client feedback. I have used mine for a year for squats up to a 150kg / 330lbs and I am all around satisfied. If you look at cost per use and lifetime of the belt the initially seemingly high price diminishes to cents.

MYPROTEIN CLA Review

If you want to cut bodyfat take care of your dieting habits first. The CLAs did little to none for an average guy like me who lifts a lot, but does not pay minute attention to detail on diet.

All these lifts with headroom for more, as you can see in the provided videos for reference.
