Introducing the “Pioneer Cut”. It is a patented design* that Steve Strohm designed and partnered exclusively with Pioneer to bring to market. We have taken the existing traditional prong buckle and made it better and more customizable in terms of sizing. Offsetting two lines of holes, this design allows for you to tighten the belt in 1/2″ increments instead of the normal 1” that most companies currently offer. Due to the smaller increments, the belt can be worn at the correct tightness keeping the lifter more safe, and allowing the belt to be unbuckled much easier.
The 10mm Thick Power Lifting Belt (Double Sided Suede) Features:
*U.S. Patent number 11,224,531
$109.95 – $114.95
Have you ever had the problem where you can’t get your prong belt the right tightness? How about the problem of getting the belt off after a big lift?

At almost age 64, this fall I will mark the start of my 47th consecutive year of training. And what a way to start the new training year. After a lifetime of lifting in off-the-shelf belts from run-of-the-mill retailers, my wife encourage me to indulge myself and get a Pioneer belt. A+++. As a shorter, lighter lifter, I got the 3″ Pioneer cut, and it is perfect. Customized exactly the way I wanted, with designs both inside and out. The first belt Pioneer made for me had a mistake; they remade the belt in record time. Outstanding product, outstanding customer service. Highly recommended. Lift on!

I opened the box and was so happy to see how amazing this belt looked. The material felt amazing and my workout was filled with style. Great company and great product. The belt is comfortable and feel very sturdy. Very pleased with this product and the work that went into it.

This belt is amazing. I have used several belts over the 15 years that I have been training and this belt is BY FAR the most comfortable, yet still effective, one I have ever used. As soon as It arrived I put it on (after admiring the amazing craftsmanship) and went out to my garage for a set of squats and when I got to 405lbs the weight seemed to move even faster than before. The abdominal pressure that this belt provides is amazing (belts I’ve used in the past just never seemed to give the right pressure) and I’m sure I’ll be able to hit a new PR in the near future. Also, as many have stated, the 1/2″ increments give the perfect fit as well as flexibility when you maybe had too big of a cheat meal the night before. I could not be happier with this belt and will be recommending it to all of my fellow training enthusiasts. Thank you Pioneer!

Wow! I absolutely LOVE this belt! From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with Pioneer. I received periodic updates about the status of my order, and I received my belt in two weeks! The buckskin color is a beautiful light brown, and the quality of the belt is top notch. I’m looking forward to getting years of good use out of this belt! Thank you!

Received my 10mm 4in belt with the adjustable lever and I love it. The new adjustable lever makes adjustments quick and easy. Very secure and stable.

I love my new 10mm pioneer cut suede belt. It’s well made and the peach color has a very pretty blush tone to it and goes with a lot of my lighter clothes. Pioneer’s customer service was top notch – they sent updates from each step of the manufacturing process. I would recommend this belt!

The pioneer cut makes all the difference! Got mine today and it’s definitely worth the money. I got back into lifting about a year ago, and I’ve just been using the community belts at my gym, which are made by pioneer, so I knew I’d love this belt. I didn’t realize how much more comfortable that 1/2” difference could be! In my opinion the pioneer cut should be the new standard for belts.

I heard about Pioneer from Alan Thrall and the Barbell Medicine guys, so I had no doubt the belt was great.
Being relatively new to barbell training and powerlifting, I wasn’t sure I really needed such and elite belt…but in the end I went for the 10mm 4inc PioneerCut belt and I am extremely satisfied with it.
Ordering from Italy, it tooks a couple of weeks to get it delivered, but every step of the process was well documented and there were no problem at any point.
I have never had another belt so I can’t really compare to other products, I can only say that the belt looks amazing, and felt great from the first rep.

Great quality belt, great customer service (I was updated on every step my belt was on), and a reasonable price. I will not be going back to the standard 1″ separation between holes as the 1/2″ is perfect for days I feel bigger or smaller than usual.
