Same with me. I used to crank the belt down b/c that’s “what people do.” I keep it tight enough that I have support, but not enough to crack a rib or give me insane bruising.
If you want a good belt, either get a single prong or a lever belt.
Don’t touch a double prong.

I’ve a 10mm Inzer double prong and a 13mm Inzer lever. Without a double I prefer the 10mm buckle.
The 13mm belt is just TOO much of a belt. It’s too heavy, and it’s too stiff. I train with guys who’ve pulled and squatted over 700 in single ply gear wearing 10mm belts. There’s just no need for anything more at that weight.
Now if you were squatting a grand out of a mono in the APF the advice would be different, but if oyu were doing that you probably wouldn’t be asking the question anyway!![/quote]
Hanley is right. 10mm is enough. DO NOT get a 13mm.

That sucks, now I can’t wear my 13mm until I add close to another 500lbs to my Squat?

I love my 13mm Inzer lever for squatting in. It’s damn perfect. I use a 10mm prong belt for pulling because I like the belt looser and the 13mm is too stiff to get into good position for pulling from.
