Great idea with the kickstand. Thx.

1:05 I assume that stat is on your tinder profile... show off!!

Nice video, only suggestion I would make is to put maybe a steel plate or a fascia board over the area where the bar that holds the weights thru. My reason is because that seems like a weak point as you go up in weight. Over all, good idea for a cost effective contraption.

Great design

Very nice build I have a hip replacement and back surgery 6 months ago this will help me thank you so much

How much was the belt

Brilliant idea, thanks!

Maybe try not squatting that deep in your belt squat…maybe your knees won’t hurt so much…I assume that’s why you’re wearing knee sleeves? Anyway, do however you feel is right. Good luck😀

Great advice. Love the posters on the wall

Nice!!!!

Great job brother. I think I'll be making one for myself!

good tips. thx

Great job!

I may have seen a worse squat at some point but not sure

I built mine with a cable setup I like yours way better, thanks

How did you keep the pipe centered in place? is it just a really tight fit through the hole?

Nice job. I use a landmine attachment and hold the other side up on side with jcups. Once lifted off step over just a bit and do them. I plan to put the back in the Henny strap as it will float around a bit.

Solid work . Easy and efficient

I thought his knees were 'popping' until I realized it was the chain hitting the floor. Guess only my kneed do that 👴

The idea is nice, the execution is lacking, you are essentially lifting only a fraction of the actual weight due to the position of the pivot and the long lever. For a better design you might want to take advice from your physics/biomechanics professor, they should be able to explain torque and moment rather easily. If you care to try something, try the same movement but position yourself between the weights and the wall (pivot point) it should provide a different force curve. Facing the wall with weights behind or back to the wall with weight in front can also work slightly differently to stimulate the anterior or posterior chain.

Damm! This is brilliant! I'll need to try this out sometimes!

Really nice design, very simple. I built my own, but found it was easier to use pipe straps instead of drilling large holes through the wood for the weight rack (on top) and the rotating joint (on the bottom) on the squat rack pin. This way you're also using the full strength of the wood.

Excellent!!!!!!

Nice job man!

awesome man keep it up!

Landmine works too.

What is that rogue belt with the o rings called? All I can find are ones with D rings that rack out of place during heavy movements.

I built this a year ago and it served me well. I'm about to upgrade to a true belt squat using a DIY cable machine attachment system.

This is awesome. Great work

Ok so where did u attached the long board to, on tje wall?

Seems like the best diy belt squat , thx

Love to see it!

Thank you for the video, gave me some ideas for my wooden squat rack.

Good job kid. Yours is the best so far and uncomplicated. Too many people trying to build complicated things, and your stand is perfect and very easy to use. Keep it up young man, and great job again.

Great job! Subbed - wishing you the best lifts!

How much weight do you need for this? Like if I can squat 405 any idea how many plates I'd need on this guy to be effective?

Very cool bro! I’ve been watching a lot of belt squat videos and found most of the machines are ridiculously overpriced for the job they do. I will use your idea to make my own👍🏻

Here from Candito. Congratulations, very good idea!! Do you know how much weight can you load? Best

really good bro

Powerlifted for 20 years till my back gave out... that lower back rounding at the bottom will catch up with you eventually

I've been researching diy belt squat devices for a few years now. This is by far the best idea I've seen, I'll be building mine tomorrow. Thanks man.

Fantastic!

Bravo, man! And great job showing us DIYers how to build it in 3 minutes. Most people would have stretched this video out for a half hour!

Best one I’ve seen by FAR. Great job bud.

Great idea bud!

Like the Idea √√ -- But your movement (waaaaaaay slower … consider reducing the wight to go slower) needs to improve, I think. Specially the positioning of shoulder and back. The "cracking" will stop, even without oil …;-))

Nice bro...

Great idea using the safety bar for the pivot! Thanks. And I didn't notice the chain hitting the floor at first, I was hoping it wasn't your knees making that sound! :)

Not bad kid ... good work ..nice short and to the point👍 I’m definitely making one.
