Did your lever belt just arrive in the mail? You made a wise purchase — these are the ultimate in both convenience and efficacy. TWL’s lever weightlifting belt is crafted from the highest quality topside cowhide leather, offering the support you can count when you need it the most.
Best yet, you only need to size the belt once. After you’ve adjusted the lever attachment in the appropriate setting, all you need to do is clip it closed when you’re ready to lift. It’s easy to get in and out of (perfect for those WODs where you only need a belt for certain movements) but provides the ultimate in stability. Once you clip a lever belt on, it isn’t going anywhere.
While the benefits are pretty clear, sometimes, it can be a little confusing trying to understand specifically how a lever belt works — especially when it comes to sizing and adjusting it to fit your frame. Note that the lever is meant to detach! You’ll need to screw it into the appropriate holes so that it gives you the fit you’re looking for. This video gives a nice breakdown of the inner workings of a lever belt.
Assembling your lever belt is one extra step, but don’t panic! It’s very simple, you only need a screwdriver, and once it’s done, the lever belt is incredibly easy to fasten and furthermore, it provides a fit customized for you. This video is a great example of how to put it together.
Finding the right setting for your belt will likely take a little trial and error. Once you’ve found the correct setting, all you do is:
- Line the back plate up against the back of the belt.
- Insert the screws through the back plate and belt.
- Screw them into the lever attachment on the other side.
The front of the lever should be pointing toward the front of the belt.
