I think I just had a great idea. I think I will start a business of aging powerlifting belts. Consider this: everybody knows an old and very well used belt is a good belt. Probably it is at its best when it\u2019s really really old. Old, all stained with too much sweat and maybe a little blood, if you\u2019re lucky.<\/p>\n

So, in economic terms, powerlifting belts should be seen as whiskey: the older the better. Unlike whiskey, though, you can\u2019t just leave it there to age: you must use it intensely. Otherwise, the leather won\u2019t get that rubbery indescribable texture a very old and used belt has.<\/p>\n

If other members of the community follow my fantastic idea, we can even standardize aging categories: there\u2019s the 8 year belt, the 12 year belt and \u2013 wow! \u2013 even the 20 year belt (I wonder who\u2019ll last that long).<\/p>\n

But how do we produce such belts? That\u2019s a tough one. How do you produce a good, old, stained, aged belt without exclusivity? If you grow so emotionally attached to it that you become monogamous, it won\u2019t make either economic nor personal sense to sell it \u2013 ever. So you must buy TODAY a set of new belts and use one in each set.<\/p>\n

You can also cheat, of course: you can use them in a sauna or do cardio with them. I believe it will work, but those will be fake aged powerlifting belts and if the customer finds out how they were aged, they might lose value.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure this is one of the best business ideas I had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
