There is a pretty significant advantage to levers for strongman competitors. If you ever run into a medley that has front carries or tire flips mixed with yoke or farmers, you want to be able to get the belt off/on quickly. You can lose by a second in those events, and time fumbling with a buckle can REALLY suck

Jesus no, those are horrible.

Old school buckle is the way to go. Cheap. Efficient. Beautiful.

It’s also quick to tighten and release when you learn it.

Haha I actually train with one :stuck_out_tongue:
Seriously though I’m in favour of a lever though, makes life easier.

Single prong buckles are things of beauty

Yeah the strongman guys at my gym use lever belts, as they can put them on with the buckle to the side or back so they don’t interfere with log etc.
Makes sense for the quick changes too

So youre switching to strongman? Very interesting. I too was wanting to dabble in some things

If your gym has installed jerk boxes, do them from rolling-in style and push press up. It works wonders for the ego, the ease of overcoming the strength curve and the dopamine graduation effect.

Do one max set and add one sub-par max set per week till 10.

Waste of time except if Craig Weller asks you to do so. You will never have the proper coaching unless guided by him. Listen.

Correct, Kenshin. You need them for PJs.
