another belt question

wolverine · 12-12-2005, 09:56 PM

Is there a practical difference between a one or two prong style PL'ing belt? I'm about to order one and I can't decide...

1 prong is easier to latch.

if i had to get another belt i'd probably get a lever or a 1 prong, the 2 prongs can be a bitch to get off, especially when it's tight and you just did a heavy set of deads or squats.

I saw the levers, looks great if your waist is always the same size, but it seems like mine is always changing up and down....mostly up

So one prong it is, thanks guys.

Yep, and that is precisely why I have a 1 prong. Can't see any real benefit to double.

have a lever and a 1 prong. i use mt lever for raw training but once suited up i like my i prong.

my 1 prong is 10mm instaed of 13mm like my other belt. cant tell any difference when squatting and pulling.
