2nd session with these today.
Warming up sleeveless w/ them folded and around my ankles.
Up for last warmups and then folded down off the quads between sets.
Left them up between 355X2 and 365X1

I picked up a stock 10mm untreated pioneer cut belt, a dip belt, and untreated lifting straps and saved a total of $30.

3 year review only because one of my lifting straps is starting to rip and I knew searching this thread would tell me when I got them;


10mm untreated belt is still quite stiff. Which is a good thing. And I really enjoy the Pioneer cut hole spacing.

Dip belt doesn't strike me as different from other leather dip belts I've seen. The rivets, however, seem undersized and weren't fully "blossomed." I have holes in the lower back of all my workout shirts from them.

One of the lifting straps is ripping after almost exactly 3 years. I don't know if that's par for the course or not. My DIY, non-sewed, Rip-style nylon webbing straps held up for much longer than that, and I'll have to go back to them for now.
