The belt needs a better position, either up higher or down lower, or at a different angle front to back.
I have the starting strength 1 ply 3 inch belt. It is pinching my stomach hard at the bottom of my squat. I have absolutely no trouble at all in the deadlift, but at the bottom of the squat there's an intense pinching and it's quite distracting to my concentration. I am not a great big fat guy, being 5'6", 185 lbs, roughly 18-20% body fat. However, it would seem some of my fat or skin is getting pinched at the bottom. Any advice for how to use the belt properly in the squat?
Squat: 295x5 (this is lagging a little bit since I've had to restart the LP after unlearning the high bar squat)
Thanks

For me, I find if I grab the bar while racked, and squat a bit more ass-to-grass than what I'll actually do in my worksets the belt moves to a place it doesn't pinch me on work sets. I'm pretty fat so YMMV.
