I rig up a belt squat with my barbell, a land mine, and a dip belt. All things most people already have, and if not, can get for around 100 bucks (minus the barbell). I end up standing on two 45 bumpers to allow a better range or motion. Considering I spent nothing extra to get up and running, I'd take it over this setup any day. I load the weight on with my mini deadlift jack, and because the barbell is long, the arc angle is acute enough that you barely feel it in the movement. Just something I thought people might want to try before they go out spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

I’m glad you mentioned the load distribution of what you are actually lifting. Since it’s lever action and you stand behind the weight you aren’t lifting the true amount of weights on the attachment. I had a PowerTec. I calculated and actually used a scale to determine what % of the load I was lifting. The most consistent % I determined is I was lifting 70% of the load.

Agreed and I usually just suggest lever arms if someone wants a set up like this, but I think this is one of those cases where it just makes sense to spend a little more or nothing at all.

Overall I really like the thing and it has helped my overall squat jump.
@el71452 жыл бұрын
One of the biggest problems I see with these (or jammer/lever arms) is how short the lever is and the inability to place your hands onto something (which makes this exercise way more comfortable). My DIY solution was to purchase a short upright, use pin/pipe safeties to thread through the upright holes, place in the middle of your rack, place 2x jhooks on ur rack and put the barbell on to hold ur hands. You will need a rack with holes all the way around the upright because the whole belt squat is outside ur rack like in this revolt although its centered and not off of one upright. Definitely need a weight horn to bolt on top of the spare upright. You also need to do some cutting with an angle grinder to get the perfect upright length, etc.

when my son was recovering from labrum surgery we rigged up a belt squat with a Spud belt, a Spud loading pin, and some chain, hook, and carabiners. He would stand on a couple of metal plyobox stands with the weight on another box and then he would lift it up a few inches and his friend would pull the box away. Conversely we had a couple of aluminum ramps and he would duck walk up the ramp. Simple and cheap. the loading pin would be used with some attachments (grenades) to use for dip work. Between the belt squats and sled pulls he was able to maintain his lower body until he recovered from surgery and could start using his upper body (he played football in HS and college).

I bought a couple of 2" plate storage pins and bolted them to a jammer arm. Bolted on with wing nuts, they are quick to put on and take off. The plates load from the side on my jammer arms, but that's because they don't have holes on all four sides. I could drill it from the top and it would be just like this purpose built thing. Using a jammer arm, that's one less thing to store and it gives a multi use bit of kit that does more than the bespoke belt squat attachment. You still need to buy a strong eyebolt and a belt, but it's better value for money. I also use the weight pins and a jammer arm for leg extensions and leg curls. Slip a pad around one of the plate pins and load the weights on the other pin and it works fine. Given the choice between a purpose built belt squat like this and a modified jammer arm, I'd buy jammers and take the additional exercise options every time.

I have the belt squat attachment and think it's good but you're right about the felt weight being a lot less than what you're putting on. I wish the weight sleeve was a bit longer as if you're using bumper plates you can't load that much on it (something like 4-5x 55lbs). If I had the slimmer metal plates then I think I'd be happier with the amount it could load. With that said, I can still get a great workout in if I just do more reps so it's great for what it is and the price point. I'm happy with the purchase as it's simple, versatile enough, and you can get a good leg workout in if you just do more reps.

I recently turned my Rogue Indy T Bar Row platform into a cable belt squat by rigging up a pulley between the feet in the middle of the unit. I can adjust the starting height and where the cable is centered easily too so I can have it be forward or backward, and flip the unit around to have your feet angled a little up or a little down. Also great for cable T Bell squats that way, and anything with a super low pulley that you’re standing a foot up from. Only issue is that if the weight’s really heavy it’ll want to pull you towards the cable source, but I put down a spacer between them and it’s been fine so far as it just pulls into that. A lot of DIY belt squat platform instructions out there to make them out of wood and hook it up to a cable machine, which makes me surprised no company makes a nicer one like that to sell made out of iron or something. Main issue with belt squat machines is the size.

Gee, why not just do REAL SQUATS ????

@@davebrown4841 Because of the reasons already mentioned in this video... neck or back issues, for starters. Could be recovering from a shoulder injury and don't have enough mobility back yet to even reach a barbell on their shoulders. Belt squats have less risk of injury as well. Loads of legit reasons. Why do you even watch these videos? All you ever do is complain.

Its not so much the length of the belt squat arm but its angle, if you have it high up on a rack at a steep angle then you are not lifting the weight straight up, which will reduce the load. Set the belt squat arm at a low angle and you will not reduce the load so much.

Have you tried the rep belt squat attachment on the ares?
@nathanluke5262 жыл бұрын
I have it and use it weekly. it's great for the money, but all it's really done for me is make my want a rhino even more. pro tip for setting up, use a tie down strap attached to the top of your rack to hold the lever arm in the "top" position.

Please do a review on manual incline treadmills. Much more realistically priced than a curved treadmill for most people and seems like a viable alternative to a sled as well. There's a Sunny Health & Fitness one for ~$400 that seems decent, but reviews for this type of treadmill are basically non existent.

I’ve been looking at getting a belt squat rig. My concern is I had my low back fused at L4-L5 and at L5-S1 (4 titanium rods, 6 titanium screws). This is the area of the lumbar spine where the belt is located. Concerns???

If there are holes on the bottom could you just screw in a weight peg and then control the height depending on how close to the end (where you stand) it is?
