Prices checked October 26, 2026. Rogue Ohio Lifting Belt in stock at Rogue Fitness as of October 26, 2026 (tan, sizes S to 2XL listed).

Why the coach picked it

Same core build: both are 10mm thick and 4 inches (10 cm) wide, so you get the same thing to brace against on a heavy squat or deadlift.
$145 vs. $310. You won't brace $165 harder.
The single-prong buckle moves a hole at a time. Wear it snug for a 1RM, ease it off for a barbell complex.
Rogue makes it in Ohio from vegetable-tanned USA leather.
Rogue sizes it in ranges from 21" to 45". Measure snug where the belt sits, not your pants size, and you'll only need to buy one.

When the other one is the right call

If you compete in IPF, USAPL or USPA powerlifting, get the SBD. Same if you want a lever's fast on and off without giving up hole-by-hole adjustment.
