does it hold well and not open when deadlifting heavier, say about 250lbs?

I think it holds very well. There is a very long line of velcro (not sure if its actually velcro but for lack of a better term we will go with that). I only deadlift around 165 as of right now, however, i have workout friends that do go up to 300 easy that have the same belt as me. I dont want to speak for them, but it never looks like it needs to be adjusted. I open mine and tighten it sometimes but thats for personal preference...it does not open up on me at all. A large amount of crossfitters have this at our box, so I think you would be good to go! Hope that helps!

Yes holds very well. I have not had problems at all.I got a medium and should have gotten a small though. But works great.

Oh yea, most definitely. The most I've deadlifted in this is #300, and it didn't budge. The velcro is pretty damn heavy duty. It's not as supportive as an Inzer belt, but the money, it's definitely a great deal.

It most assuredly is fully secure for any weight you may be lifting, assuming you are purchasing the correct size. I'm very pleased with mine.

It easily holds 400 lbs. Note that I had trouble ensuring that the second bar stays in place. I don't know if this is a function of having the top bar loaded or if the clamps are faulty in some manner.

They are the nicest straps that I have personally seen. If I had to guess, I would say they would hold up through heavy deadlifts, but I can't say for sure. The company may be able to provide you with that information.

I would trust it to hold the weight, but the movement (door opening and closing, etc) might cause some problems.

The vertices bars on the back are plate holders. No the rack does not assist with dead lifts. The rack can be used for bench presses if you use a utility bench.

It is very sturdy and I have picked up items weighing several pounds, long as you can get a grip on it, it will pick it up, I have two now. Never failed me

Yes it will hold it but be careful not to pack too much on it. It is not very sturdy and some customer reviews complained about cracks and chips after opening.

It is a very light weight shelving unit. I really don't think it could safely hold 250 lbs

I have lifted only a couple of times with it. It worked fairly well. I run mostly. After a three mile run if didn't shift much if you're worried about it sliding around. Hope this helps.

I weigh 180 pounds and had no problems with it, very strong and good quality

I have not looked as this one has held up just fine for me. I use it to haul sewing supplies and tools around so it does not have to be able to hold up with heavy loads. But it has got a good workout since I purchased it and it still has no issues.

It's a great board and holds up to heavier weights as well. I have used it a few times and I weigh 175lbs. At my weight, it does flex a little though.

I got one I use it for carrying fruits and veggies from bountiful baskets have not had any problems with it just make sure you take the side stabler out of the bottom and place them on the top where the hinges are to hold it open.

No, it's very stable. I do assisted pull ups with a band at 280 lbs and it doesn't even wabble. Hope this helps.

This heavy duty belt supports your back, keeping it in place and safe for your lift. Without it your putting your self at risk of being injured as I did once, trying to prove that I was strong. I have my regrets but I'm still able to lift, so now I make sure I use this Belt. It definitely works and 180 lbs I think your pushing it. Anything over 100 lbs you should definitely use the belt. I know the right posture helps when lifting but why take chances with your health. Your in the right direction for asking, keep doing more research and learn from other peoples mistakes.

I've bought it for my 13 yr old to do safer squats and dead lifts so I've only had 180 lbs in weights on it. The bar weighs 50 lbs by itself and seems very solid. I would recommend !

Haven't experienced a problem with the locking system. Plastic is very thick, & sturdy. Given the correct size for your waist, the velcro is strong enough to keep the belt locked in place even when lifting heavy. I also own a heavy duty leather lifting belt as well, but this one is more comfortable because it doesn't pinch or seem to cut into my waist when I bend over. I also agree with the previous comment that if you plan to lift heavier than 500 lbs, you may prefer the security of the leather belt.
