Apparently some people have their buckles looser/tighter for certain exercises. How common is this? I think I'd prefer lever just for faster setup, mostly only using for squats, maybe heavy pulls but they still feel very sturdy.

Buckle, allows for different body placement without moving lever and if you are varying in size as some people do, I might have a 5-10 pound fluctuation in the day. Also wearing hoodies and stuff make the Buckle nice. No alteration

Lever ez

qouch, always bloated cre3w ever 5 hours

or you can just be like the dude at the gym today who walkjed around with a belt on for every bicep evercize

I just use a 20$ velcro belt and it works wonders.

Buckle, easily.

I wear my belt low on squats and high on deads, with deads being looser so it doesn't break my ribs.

Brb unscrewing my belt every single time I'm in the gym with a lever belt lol just lol. Brb forgot to bring my toolbox to the gym damn

Also, since ur new to belts you will want to play around with different heights and different tightnesses to see what works for you, brb trying to do that with a lever belt fkn loooll only fags like hyphyll wear lever belts

I was gonna get lever but u convinced me otherwise, Thx men.

Nothing a buckle could have done better than my lever.

lever if you plan to stay in the same weight class.
Buckle if you plan on moving up or down at some point.

Buckle it is, for sizing I'm currently 31 waist/gut (measured with abdominal brace) the size is 28-32 or 33-35 I think I should go for the medium @ 33-35 because I'm going to get quite a bit bigger over time?
