    belt position

    Ive displaced my left ribs two times now. Where the rib has subluxed and cause pain and bruising that lasts several weeks.
    Both times this has happened squatting.

    Has this happened to anyone?
    Im wearing my belt as low as i can, any lower amd it would be on my hip bones.

    Tips? Prehab ideas?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Wear it higher. Suck Some air into those abs and drive them out into your belt and your ribs will be fine

    Sounds like the belt's too tight and too low.

    Ive seen this happen to a guy that tried to use my belt. Are you really lean, sounds like skinny guy problems?
