Open Conversations: Should I wear lifters?
The Open is here. You’re questioning everything. Belt or no belt, lifters or no lifters. The number one answer is do what you’re used to. During the Open is no time for big life changes or brand-new equipment. BUT if you want to figure out if lifters could help you perform better, consider yourself. What’s your biggest limiter? Is it weight-lifting? Is it toes-to-bars? Lifters are gonna add a little weight, so if you typically go ham on pull-ups and struggle a little with the barbells, maybe it’s worth the lifters. If you’re the opposite, maybe ride it out without them and try them next week.
