Hi guys

After some tips on different weight lifting belts'

On Sunday's comp I couldn't breath on deadlift due to my belt! I have a zuluglove quick release type, would getting a tapered belt make it easier to breath whilst hunched over?

Also do you guys use different belts for different events??

I had the same problem a while ago, before jumping in to buy another belt, try putting the belt on but dont do it up (as in leave the lever undone)

If that still doesnt help, a tapered one would be better. Try one out if you can, just to be sure.

Much prefer using a tapered belt on certain stuff like dead's. I just got a new inzer tapered lever belt, love it. I still use my old big belt for stuff like yoke

Why don't you just take your air, then set up?

I did that, but like a douche when I set up I breathed out, force of habit really :-)
