Pit Shark Belt Squat (How To Use It)

[@raffitchakmakjian]

Just joined a gym that has one of these. Had never seen one prior. Its my favorite machine there!

[@SerialThrillersINC]

Honestly, thank you for this video! I have avoided that machine for quite some time because I had zero clue as to how it’s used and had too much pride to ask lol 🙏🏽

[@emiliaperelin6018]

Thank you for this super simple explanation! :) My coach put it in my plan for the first time and I've never used it before.

[@fredcastleman3104]

Do these transfer to conventional deadlifts??

[@OmG-xy4zd]

Helped me a lot! Thanks

[@lf2137]

What does it target most?

[@cf9017]

Quads

[@shane2863]

Do the different notches change the difficulty of the lift at all?

[@vincewarren1271]

Yes, different notches hit the muscles differently and engage some more activation than others. Quads will dominate on some positions while there will be more glute activation on other notches.

[@shane2863]

@@vincewarren1271 appreciate the reply. Which notch would you recommend if I want to isolate quads the most?

[@vincewarren1271]

@shane2863 I believe the one he showed in this video would be the best bet. My gym has one but I haven't used it in a while since I switched to split squats with dumbells in hand. I may go back to this machine soon to switch it up. From what I remember the 1st notch directly below you isolates the glutes more and the top two closest to the machine are more quad dominant. Of course, you can go light and feel it out for yourself. I didn't like the way that the belt felt so I quit doing it. Felt like it kept dropping to low but I now have a lifting belt with a chain that could probably work just as good if not better so I'll give it a shot next leg day.

Is that a shark pit made by French fitness ?

[@patrickstar3066]

I’ve belt squatted 990 on each side light weight

[@ak.foesev]

How did you even get 990 on a side 😭

[@cf9017]

impressive if true

[@JuanGarcia-fv9ph]

i thought the rails were removeable and I tried using them as handles😂 my dumbass

[@HardKore5250]

What good is it?

[@ak.foesev]

Helps eliminate the pressure on the back creating issues
