Hip Thrust Belt for Dumbbells, Booty Belt for Hip Thrust, Heavy Duty Adjustable Straps and Slip-Resistant Padding with Quick Side Release Buckles

It works great and holds my weights good

Great addition to my workout but made for a bigger person!

Easy to use and comfortable to workout with. The material is durable and could hold heavy weights without detaching.

This is a lightweight hip-thrust belt, meaning that it isn’t bulky or heavy. It fits easily in my gym bag and doesn’t take up too much space because it folds flat. As lightweight as it is, it’s well made. I got the large because it’s wider and distributes the weight more comfortably than the narrower medium sized belt. It works fairly well depending on the workout clothing I’m wearing. It slips from side to side, making the weight uneven when I’m wearing the more silky types of workout leggings. My workout partner, a much larger man, used it and liked it. He didn’t have the slippage issues mostly because he wears cotton workout clothing which provides more friction for the belt to grab.

So hip thrusts may be kinda silly-looking, but they are a wonderfully effective glute/hamstring exercise and I’ve been doing them as a regular part of my weight-training routine for a couple of years. Until now I had either balanced a dumbbell on my hips (quite uncomfortable), or a barbell with plates (more versatile on the resistance, but also uncomfortable). With these I always need to have a folded blanket/towel underneath to make it less painful and I was making due. But then I decided to try the hip thrust belt, and wow! way more comfortable and I can focus on doing the exercise instead of on adjusting for the awkward weights on my hips. The belt is super easy to use, just attach your dumbbells to either side. Highly recommend.

I got this because using a bar was becoming painful with the amount of weight needed to do hip thrusts. It's all velcro for the attachment so as far as long term use, the jury is out. The construction is decent but just not as well built as another that I found that uses carabiners and has heavy duty nylon fabric. This is fine for those looking to do lighter weights and won't be changing the weights out (leaving the weights in).

First, be advised that the model in the product images is using a size large (27” long). I can tell, because the width of the large is 5.5” and the width of the medium is 3.5”. You can see in the photos that there are inches of belt/padding on either side of the straps. That 2 inch difference matters, for me at least—the thinner belt cuts into my lower abdomen when I use it with heavier weights.That’s on me though, since the product description clearly gives the dimensions and literally shows a photo of the difference. I do wish they offered the medium length in a wider width for comfort, but they also could have added a bit more padding for comfort. It is certainly more comfortable than a barbell though, so there’s that.Still, this is a good hip thrust belt. It’s pretty standard for hip thrust belts in that it is made to drape over your body (e.g. at the hips for thrusts, at the neck for squats and sitting crunches, etc.), not wrap around your waist and be fixed there. The weights attach securely and I have no fear that the buckles will give out.

First off - this does NOT go AROUND like a belt. It just HANGS off of you. The "belt" has velcro for holding the weights on the side, but the whole thing is just weird. You have to money around with getting the weights in so that they don't fall out. Then you have to maneuver laying down and then placing this thing ON TOP of you.Now that I see how it works, I'm not sure having it wrap around would be any better, but this just seems dangerous. It is easier to use if you have someone to place it on top of you. But what if you don't?This just seems like a novelty gadget!
