Something that seems simple on face value.
Is tightness of belt a matter of preference, or is tighter better? Just asking since I tighten mine so as I can squeeze myself against it, but no where near as tight as Chase sets it in this vid.
I would be interested in reading the T-Nation article Rip mentions. I haven’t found it yet. Anybody have the link?
Tighter mid-section is better. Practically-speaking, what happens over time is that you get better at using the belt and using it tighter as well. There is a point where it is too tight. Experience also helps with knowing where this is.Quote:

Thanks, Stef. I'm going to try 'one hole' tighter next workout until i end up like a corsetted baroque lady of the night with a 20" waist somewhere down the road.
