Been looking at upgrading my shiek belt and it seems that an Inzer Forever Lever 13mm belt is the way I would like to go. Just one small problem, I can't for the life of me find anywhere in Australia that sells or deals in them and the shipping from the few sites in the US that sell them is just as, if not more than the belt price itself.
Anyone know of somewhere in Oz that distributes them or a store in the US that uses decent shipping rates?

I think the Spud "deadlift" belt is the best for $. It has the easiest adjustment method, is flexible, and it wont get in your way. It can be used for all other movements as well. I have an Inzer Lever 10mm and I really hate the design.
After one year of continued use the belt still digs in my ribs, is a PITA to adjust when I gain or lose weight, and the mechanism can get in the way of your movements. I really believe prong and/Or lever belts are suited for stronger raw lifters and geared lifters.Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

Are you not trying to be stronger? And the spud belt is not legal in many feds for competition which is a shame as it is a great belt for deadlifting. If you are anatomically screwed up you can try a tapered belt.
Also, how tight are you trying to wear the belt? Don't try to pull it as tight as you can.My Training Journal: http://tinyurl.com/jasons-journal
