Bob's Custom Lifting Belts

05/13/2025

It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I let the community that Bob loved know that he passed away on May 2nd at 81 years old.
The weightlifting community knew him for being the creator of the 4inch powerlifting belt in 1975, and a record holder power lifter. Bob was in his shop making belts up until the very end, but let me tell you more about him.
He was a wonderful husband for 49 years, he was a dad to 3 kids, he was Papa to 6 grandkids. He loved animals, had dogs, cats, chickens, birds and horses most of his life, he rode motorcycles and would tell you about his adventures in Azusa Canyon in Southern California in the 60’s and 70’s. He loved watching movies, working out, creating belts and being with family.
I would like you to know, if you have one of Bobs belts, the amount of pride he took with each belt never faltered. I can still see him brushing it off, admiring it before we boxed it up and sent it out to the world.

Hello Facebook friends. We are updating our page, it's about time.
We want to thank all of our customers and future customers for purchasing a Bob's Belt.
Bob has been very busy making belts. He still makes the best belt in the world, using the best of materials and craftsmanship. We recently watched a video where a copier of our style cut up several belts by other manufacturers and ours. He thinks he knows what it takes to make a belt and what materials are used. We still use a very tough leather that will hold up many many years. This person neglected to mention the extra stitching, the extra work on dying the edge of the belt and of course we make every buckle in our shop. And the buckles are a larger gauge of steel bent to perfection and welded. This is why we can make any width of belt. All belts are custom made for any type of lifting you do or what size your are. You can pick color of suede, stitching and embroidery options.
We have a new line of belts, I am posting pictures and would like feedback. They are leather outside with your choice of suede on the inside and your choice of stitching. These will be available in all styles of belts or design your own. We are calling them "THE NATURAL"
You can always reach us at [email protected] or text at 775-513-8777
Here we are showing the ORIGINAL STYLE, DEADLIFT STYLE and the JUNIOR STYLE
