Help explaining "rigged to advantage/disadvantage"
(OP)
First off I am an electrical type so bare with my potential to misname stuff. I have a guy at work doing a presentation on rigging. He has "rigged to disadvantage" pretty well nailed down. He uses a 4 part block and tackle as an example for the compounding force as the rope winds itself through the pulleys. His rigging references come from cranes and all of the information is about "rigging to disadvantage".
Does anyone have any good links to "rigging to advantage"? We have calculated the force in each line with a moving pull line but he is not feeling comfortable with the results.

I haven't heard of "rigging to {dis}advantage", but the way I learned in high school physics says if you're pulling up to lift the load, you're part of the solution, and using the hardware more efficiently.
