Didn't they just release some huge study somewhere that came to the conclusion at least for back injuries that those belts didn't do shit?

the inzer model's only $80. it's superior (to me) for convenience. as soon as the bar's on the floor or back on the hooks you can just flip the lever and boom, it's loose again. if you've ever struggled for 30-45 seconds trying to undo a prong belt after a set and gone berzerk, the lever belt is for you.

you have to have a good belt AND know how to use it. if you throw a velcro belt on a newbie chances are they won't notice anything.

I use an F6 right now, but a Katana is in the future. I am also getting a Titan squat suit. I love all of their equipement EXCEPT their wrist/knee wraps.

Got a lever belt like Magoo. I remember Hatfield was in the ad for it in the mags. Don't use it any more; it just gathers dust. $:-\$

/insert dust joke [ ] here

I know that i feel 10x safer wearing the belt, and even if they didn't do shit, it's worth it for the psychological benefit lol. But they do prevent injuries, thats why they have been used by decades by weightlifters and anyone doing heavy manual work.

maybe he feels squatting is feminine, kinda like sitting down to take a piss?
