    Doc,

    What do you think of Inzer's new PR Belt? Check it out at their site. I was thinking of getting one. I no longer compete in powerlifting, I compete in Strongman and this belt looked very interesting. Any thoughts?

    i saw it recently at a meet, and it looks solid, it is expensive, but you never have to worry about an improper fit

    no, belt thickness equals greater support, not prongs, sinlge is better than double for the simple fact that it is easier to bucle it when you need it tight, doubleprong takes more efffort and it is a pain in the ass, i learned thsi lesson from paul childress, and well his records and accomplishments speak for themself.

    i like a narrow and highly flexible leather belt for bench press and DL even. those big belts are reallly only good for squatting IMO. lever actions are awesome.
