Help me with deciding belt size (in between sizes)

[viennafat]

Hey bros,

I'm looking to get a new belt. (specifically a lever belt)
My understanding is that the best place to measure is right over the hip bones/along the belly button.

I fall right in between sizes and don't know what the best choice is.

I measured ~35" and these are the sizes:
31"-36" Medium
35"-41" Large

I'm bulking at the moment so I may gain a bit but eventually when I cut I will be smaller than what I currently am. (but I dont expect too big of a fluctuation either way)

Any input?

Thanks

Probably your best measurement advice will come from the company selling the belt(s) you're considering purchasing.

Good suggestion.
I just checked their site (Schiek) and I didn`t find anything regarding measurement guidelines/advice. Just the size chart.

PS - Looking to but the Schiek Lever Belt.

Get the larger size. If your profile stats are recent, at 6'3 your frame can easily support more than 198 lbs at a lean BF% (if that's what you're into). Beyond that, you can always make more holes in a larger belt with a drill if you dip below the minimum muscle belly circumference. Just make sure they are spaced the same as the pre-fab holes.

Also, having a bigger belt will give you incentive to be bigger. The rectangle way of life is for winners. When tying your chucks counts as GPP, you know you have arrived.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I guess with a bigger belt you can always add notches to make it smaller. The other way around may be tougher.

Yeah I definitely plan on getting bigger, although I dunno how much of that would translate around my midsection. Need to actually lose some fat there.

Schiek belts run a little large. Get the smaller one when in doubt.

Oh yeah?
That's good to know.

Now I gotta think about it again.

Can you call the company? I'm sure they would be the best resource. If I were right in the middle of two sizes, I would honestly look at another brand that might work better for ya. Just a thought..
