What else to consider from Rogue
Overview of the Ohio lifting belt
The
Rogue Ohio lifting belt is the workhorse of the belts available from Rogue and the longest in production from Rogue themselves. This was my personal first purchase from Rogue and they did not disappoint. The leather is from the US and worked on in the house. Rogue uses the vegetable tanning process to deliver high quality, well-finished leather.
The belt is 4'' wide and 10mm thick. It comes with a single prong buckle. The colors are brown with white stitching and a silver buckle.
Pros of the Ohio lifting belt
Cons of the Ohio lifting belt
The
Rogue Ohio belt is not IPF approved so it can not be used in a powerlifting meet. If you want to use your belt in powerlifting and want it from Rogue you need to opt for the
13mm version or the
lever belt. For small lifters or for Olympic weightlifting it might be too cumbersome to use.
