The Strength Manual
Get more out of your belt—and every lift.
The 2POOD Strength Manual is a practical guide to choosing a belt, finding the right fit, and bracing against it with confidence. Whether you’re working toward a heavier squat, catching a clean, or moving through a fast metcon, you’ll learn how to match your belt and your brace to the work.
Inside the guide:
-
Choose between soft and rigid belts, and find the right width and size for your body.
-
Check your fit with the 2-to-3 finger test and lifting strap drill.
-
Learn the A.S.P. method: Align, Set, and Pressurize.
-
Adjust your brace and breathing for heavy singles, higher-rep sets, and functional fitness.
-
Apply the technique to Olympic lifts, squats, deadlifts, bench press, and overhead press.
-
Explore the research behind belt use, with references and links to video demonstrations.
