Mark Rippetoe is on about these restricting movement in the deadlift here, http://startingstrength.com/site/article/the_belt_and_the_dead... Skip to the bottom of page two if you want the meat and no gravy. It seems to make sense. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | The only thing I do differently is on Squat I'll have both prongs levered in so it's tighter, in deadlift it'll only be one so it's a bit looser... And tbh I'll only do that when I'm fat. Maybe it's cos Rippledough is a fat c**t? | ||

Member 5515, 286 posts SQ 200, BP 130, DL 210540.0 kgs @ 87kgs UnEq | I prefer squatting in a lever belt and deadlifting with a single prong. I also like wearing the belt higher for deadlifts. | ||

I guess he does think telling everyone to drink a gallon of whole milk a day is a good idea? | ||

When I bend over, I inhale then - not before hand like a lot of people so I need to put my inhaled gut between my thighs where it fits. The belt is counter-productive for me. Long torso though. | ||
