If your body measurement is on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit, or the larger size for a looser fit.

If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your largest measurement

We recommend washing the shorts at a maximum temperature of 30°C (86°F). Where possible, allow the shorts to air dry. If you do use a machine dryer, then we suggest using a cold setting.

Aspire Wrist Wraps

JCMB-team — Fri, 30 May 2025 10:06:46 +0000

Wrist wraps relied on by strength athletes around the world, available in two versions and three lengths, to accommodate for every preference.

Flexible – Designed to support the wrist while allowing the wrist to flex, designed for superior moulding to the wrist, and upgraded comfort during supported wrist flexion.

Stiff – Designed to cast and immobilise the wrist, now with a softer finish, to resist wrist flexion while minimising discomfort.

Aspire is a limited edition collection, offering the same performance and manufactured to the same high standards as our classic product line.

Sold as a pair.
IPF approved with the maximum width (8cm) and available up to the maximum length (1m).
Proprietary wide elastics developed and manufactured specifically for wrist support.
Powered by VELCRO® Brand hook and loop
Left and right designs for equal wrapping of each wrist.
Made in Sheffield, Great Britain.

Size
Small (40cm/15.7in)	Small wrists
Medium (60cm/23.6in)	Standard size for medium-large wrists
Large (100cm/39.4in)	Maximum competitive use

Support
Flexible	To allow some wrist flexion
Stiff	To fully immobilise the wrist

Most athletes prefer a medium-length, flexible wrist wrap, suitable for a variety of exercises.

If you have a very small wrist, we would recommend choosing the small length.

The large flexible wrap is ideal for those wanting a versatile wrap which, depending on how many times it is wrapped, can be altered to be more or less supportive.

Athletes looking for maximal support can try the stiff version of our wrist wraps, which we would typically recommend as a second pair of wrist wraps to complement our flexible wraps.

We recommend hand washing the wrist wraps with warm water and a mild detergent, and then allow the wraps to air dry. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the material of the wrist wraps.

Sold as a pair.
IPF approved and USAPL and IWF compliant with the maximum allowable 30cm length.

4XL	45.5-48	17.9-18.9
5XL	48-51.5	18.9-20.3

Measure the circumference of your knee joint with your leg out straight, keeping your muscles relaxed. Measure around the centre of your kneecap (at the patella), and around the thickest part of your calf. If your calf is more than 4cm (1.6in) larger than your knee, then you may wish to size up to ensure a good fit.

If you want a tight fit best suited to powerlifting and squatting, we recommend sizing down. A regular fitting knee sleeve will be snug.

If you are new to wearing knee sleeves we recommend going with the recommended fit instead of sizing down, especially if you fall on size medium or smaller

Forge 13mm Lever Belt

JCMB-team — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:00:18 +0000

Featuring a patented gliding lever, providing the adjustability of a prong belt with the ease and tightness of a lever belt. Ideal for sizing up or down whenever you need during training sessions and competitions.

The 13mm lever belt offers the maximum specifications allowed in competitive powerlifting, with four layers of British leather and suede, combined with our patented lever, allowing for the utmost tightness and support.

Designed through collaboration with world class athletes, coaches, and health professionals.

13mm thickness and 10cm in width.
Black oiled leather finish with a red suede interior.
IPF approved.
Made exclusively from British cowhide.
Manufactured in Great Britain.

Size	Range (cm)	Range (in)
XS	57.5-70	22.5-27.5
S	65-80	25.5-31.5
M	72.5-90	28.5-35.5
L	80-100	31.5-39.5
XL	87.5-110	34.5-43.5
2XL	95-120	37.5-47
3XL	102.5-130	40.5-51
4XL	110-140	43.5-55
5XL	117.5-150	46.5-59

If you already own a belt, we recommend measuring your current belt on the tightest setting you use to give you the circumference of the belt at the setting you usually use.

If you do not have a belt then please measure your waist where the belt will sit (which is normally just above the navel), with your abdominal muscles braced. Please do not use your trouser waist measurement as this will not be accurate for the belt measurement.

We typically recommend a belt where you fall in the middle of the sizing guide, as this will allow you to adjust the belt in either direction depending on your preference of fit, what exercise you are using the belt for, should your bodyweight change, or if you wear the belt over layers of clothes or a neoprene belt.
