The VG Hyperbelt is the next generation of lifting belts. Unlike thick leather powerlifting belts built for one or two max lifts, this gym belt is designed to stay on for your entire session. From warmup sets to high-volume training, the VG Hyperbelt gives you stability and comfort while helping you maintain correct form as you progressively increase weight and reps.

But how do you know this is the belt? Because of the brains behind the VG Hyperbelt.

Developed in partnership with Dr. Mike Israetel—PhD in Sport Physiology, Co-Founder of RP, and one of the leading voices in evidence-based training—and Jared Feather, IFBB Pro bodybuilder and exercise physiologist, the VG Hyperbelt carries an elite level of expertise and experience into every detail of its design.

“This belt is dope.” — Dr. Mike Israetel

Sleek in profile and proven by experts, the VG Hyperbelt is built for your daily grind and growth—supporting every lift, every set, and every athlete.

 

What Makes the VG Hyperbelt Different

While traditional weightlifting belts are often made from leather or nylon, both come with drawbacks. Leather belts offer rigidity but can be stiff and uncomfortable, while nylon belts provide flexibility but can pinch and lack durability.

This is where Dr. Mike Israetel and Jared Feather come in. Their combined expertise in training science, physiology, and elite competition guided the development of the VG Hyperbelt, ensuring it solves the issues athletes have struggled with for decades.

The VG Hyperbelt combines smart design with advanced materials to deliver a lifting belt for men and women unlike anything else in your gym bag.

• Full-Core 6” Support: Extends across your midsection to keep you braced during squats, deadlifts, presses, and accessory lifts.
• Tapered Design: A streamlined profile that fits naturally across different body types.
• Adaptive Fit: Six specific sizes and a durable hook-and-loop fastener give you a truly customizable feel. Tighten the belt down when you want maximum support, then ease it off between sets without ever taking it off.
• Proprietary Material Blend: Layered padding, reinforced stitching, and premium fasteners create a unique balance of durability and comfort.
• 5mm Thickness: A low-profile build that provides reliable support through long training sessions.
• Lightweight & Packable: Rolls easily into your gym bag so it’s always ready for training.
• Handmade in the USA: Assembled by hand in the United States with advanced materials and industrial-strength thread for long-lasting performance.

Every feature works together to create a belt for lifting that feels natural to wear and adjusts seamlessly to the demands of your training.

How to Use the VG Hyperbelt

The VG Hyperbelt was designed to make putting it on and adjusting it simple, so you can focus on training instead of fiddling with your gear. Follow these steps for the right fit and the best performance:

1. Position above the hips. Wrap the belt so it sits securely just above your hip bones. This placement gives your core the best surface to brace against.
2. Set the tightness. Pull the adaptive fastener until the belt feels snug, not restrictive. At rest, you should be able to slip one or two fingers between your waist and the belt.
3. Breathe and brace. Before lifting, take a deep breath into your belly and press outward into the belt. This helps increase intra-abdominal pressure for better spine stability.
4. Adjust between exercises. Keep it tight for compound lifts like squats and deadlifts. Loosen slightly for accessory work such as lunges, rows, or machine exercises.
5. Train the entire session. Thanks to its lightweight build and comfortable lining, the VG Hyperbelt is meant to stay on from warmup through cooldown without getting in your way.

Worn this way, the VG Hyperbelt reinforces good mechanics, helps you stay consistent under load, and supports steady progress set after set.

 

When to Use the VG Hyperbelt

The VG Hyperbelt isn’t reserved for one type of athlete or one type of lift. It’s designed for everyday training situations where dependable core support makes all the difference.

• Heavy Compound Lifts: Add stability on squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses.
  
• Hypertrophy Work: Wear it through high-volume sessions to help maintain form as fatigue builds.
• Functional Movements: Useful for lunges, carries, rows, and machine exercises where balance and bracing matter.
• Progressive Overload: Reliable support as you push for more reps and heavier weight week after week.

Because it’s comfortable enough to leave on, the VG Hyperbelt is one of the few lifting belts for women and men that works seamlessly across different training styles in a single session.

FAQs

Is it good to wear a weightlifting belt?

Yes. A weight training belt helps reinforce your core and protect your lower back during lifts that put heavy demand on stability. The VG Hyperbelt makes this even more practical by giving you support you can comfortably wear through an entire workout, not just for a few heavy reps.

When should you start using a lifting belt?

A lifting belt becomes useful once you begin adding progressive load to compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses. It can also provide extra stability during higher-volume training or accessory movements where maintaining form under fatigue is challenging. You don’t need to be an advanced lifter—anyone training consistently at moderate to heavy intensity can benefit.

What is a lifting belt supposed to do?

A lifting belt creates external support around your midsection. When you brace against it, the belt increases intra-abdominal pressure, which stabilizes the spine and helps you maintain proper form under load.

How do I know if I need a weightlifting belt?

If you’re lifting at moderate to heavy intensities, increasing volume, or working toward hypertrophy goals, a workout belt can make training safer and more effective. The VG Hyperbelt is especially useful because it adapts to multiple exercises, giving you steady support through your entire session.
