    Everyone is whining about the name and the voting system. Well, this ain't them. I have a Dominion belt. 3" double ply. Freakin' awesome belt! I love it. Replaced my cheap padded velcro belt. World of difference. Bought it after you guys were on the podcast some time back. Thank you guys!

      They literally just said that those belts sucked and that they started making their own on Christmas 2019. Which makes your purchase beforehand. Moron.

    I love my Dominion belt. (3" double-ply, single-prong). A year later the thing is still gorgeous, stout, and gets the job done with excellence. Much like me. Get a belt from this kick-ass family. They are doing good work in an upside-down world.

    I trust that Dominion Strength is not affiliated with Dominion "Voting" Systems. Otherwise I'd expect that if I put the buckle in the 3rd hole it might randomly switch to the 2nd or 5th hole while I'm lifting.

    The other day someone busted a window out of my truck and stole my gym bag, so I needed a new belt. I used one of your belts at Starting Strength Houston and was knocked out by its quality (especially the rivets). So this was the silver lining that came out of my bad luck. I'm really happy to support a small USA business run by people who obviously care about quality.
    I'm a guitar maker myself so it was great to see the specialized power tools used by makers in another medium. Thanks for making this very cool video!

    Surprisingly a lot of manual labour required to make one belt. But that makes it a good craftsmanship. Good to see them being proud of their work and business. Btw, who the hell hits the dislike button? Honest folks making good quality products. What's there to dislike?

    I was really surprised to make it by hand. I saw the belt making process for the first time.
    I want to test your belt by using only the Cadillo belt.

    I bought your 2 ply SS belt about 6 months ago and my lifting straps and deadlift jacks arrived this past Monday.
    I’ll never know if your belt is the highest quality, because I don’t plan on buying any other brand.
    My next purchase will be your lever belt because I’m about to reduce my girth below the XL lower limit. I’m thinking of a 2.5” for a couple women I train.
    I’d love a belt of this exact quality in 11, 12, and 13mm, dyed in espresso brown, ox blood red, and Vanta black, respectively. Possibly in 2 23/4 “. I’m just spitballing ideas.
    Love your equipment! I need a shit though. I just put your sticker on my new car as well.
