THIS WEEK'S SUBMISSION

From our video 8 Tiny Habits That Make Lifting So Much Easier (click the title to watch):

JJ Squad
I loved this vid! I'm already using 5 out of the eight in my workouts, so I need to add chalk, lifting shoes, and a belt as soon as I need them. Currently, I'm rehabbing with lighter weights after having two surgeries and 9 months away from the gym (VERY difficult!), but as soon as I'm ready for the heavier lifting again, I will get those 3 things that you suggest. I'm an 80 yo woman and just before I had to stop lifting for those 9 months, I was deadlifting over 50 kilos, which I think isn't too bad for my age and size (5'2'' and 135 lbs).

Phil
That’s great to hear in a number of ways! Congrats on that 50 kg deadlift, and way to get back at it!

Testify Review - August 24, 2026

THIS WEEK'S SUBMISSION

From our video Stop Putting Your Lifting Belt On Wrong & Try This Instead (click the title to watch):

Hugh Le Fitness
Pioneer came up with that? I thought it was SBD.

Phil
SBD has a hybrid lever-prong system as opposed to the adjustable version provided by Pioneer. SBD's is still good, but I like Pioneer's design a bit better as it allows very quick, 1/2" adjustments as opposed to taking the prongs out of the holes and the 1" inch adjustments on the SBD design.

These are minor differences as both companies make great belts. The biggest reason I recommend Pioneer over SBD is the price difference - $310 for the SBD and less than half of that for the Pioneer ($131, I believe). For that reason, I don't recommend SBD to anyone unless they really just love the SBD name.

THIS WEEK'S SUBMISSION

From our video The Real Reason You're Ruining Your Squat – Until You Do This (click the title to watch):

MrGrigs681
I follow most of your tips and have found many to be very helpful in my lifts. The one exception is the thumbless grip. I know most lifters use a thumbless grip for squats but for me it has always been more comfortable on my shoulders to wrap my thumbs around the bar. I am probably doing something wrong or maybe after 20+ years lifting, I am just more used to having my thumbs around the bar.

Phil
No worries about the “thumbs wrapped“ grip. That’s a perfectly acceptable way to perform the low bar squat as well, and as you’ll note in this video, although we demonstrate a “thumbs on top“ grip, I don’t actually discuss the location of the thumbs as it’s a secondary issue.

There are some benefits to the “thumbs on top“ grip, but again, it’s not one of the major points of the lift, and we do have lifters who need to squat with their thumbs wrapped under the bar (you’ll note that Tyler is using that grip in the opening squat of the video).

Hope this is useful!

THIS WEEK'S SUBMISSION

From our video 6 Hard Truths About Lifting Belts Most Lifters LEARN Too Late (click the title to watch):

Luke
Thank you very much from the UK.

A great video with some really good advice. I have recently become aware of and subscribed to your channel and have found some of your older videos on deadlifting really helpful. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on belt position for different lifts, high belt for deadlifts, lower for squats etc.

Thanks again

Phil
Thanks for the comment, Luke, and I'm glad the deadlift videos have been useful for you.

This will take some time and experimentation, but some lifters do wear the belt in a slightly different position for various lifts (or wear them at a slightly different tension/hole selection). An example of this would be the possibility of a higher belt position for deadlift than the squat. I wear mine in the same position for both lifts, but you may want to play with that a bit.

My advice would be to make subtle adjustments.
