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.

@wmartonejr Жыл бұрын

The issue of shearing force can be remedied by using a wedge board backwards, meaning under the toes, such to match the angle of the lever arm at the bottom. As mentioned, get the SquatMax if comfort is the concern

I've had this for about a year. I like it. I've been doing back squats since I was 16. I'm 49 now and just really don't want to be loading up my back anymore. I made a simple wood stand so I can start from standing. Pretty straight forward, gets the job done.

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.

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.

@BasementBrandon Жыл бұрын

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. Generally not a fan of the way this thing loads (impaling your chest), the angles, or having to get into position. At least the Sorinex has a kick stand.

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 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 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.

@@billybrown7953 Agree 100 percent, been to many gyms from NY to Florida and overseas and never seen anyone do these things and never seen a gym with one of those things. Looks like another thing that people will buy because they DON'T WANT TO SQUAT .

I just need a belt that has a loop at the very front. Most of them have two to each side. Can someone let me know if you know where I can get one.

Any suggestion for where to connect it ? I don't have a rack. I appreciate if you tell me links or names of brands

Hey Coop could you review some budget functional trainers? Like titan plate loaded functional trainer?

Thanks for the video Coop! Why wouldn't you just hang a weight directly from your belt? This thing is around +-250,- online. You can get some HEAVY kettlebells for less. Interested in your opinion!

I own one of these. Mine didn't come with the plastic though. If you put it up high and use a pad you can use it for hack squats also 😅.

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.

Hey Coop does this attachment fit the T3 Titan rack?? I’ve been on the fence about it and have been doing a landmine style belt squat which sucks

Just look up diy belt squat by 'The Strength Classroom' on youtube. Similar setup but you can start at the top and not have as much sheer forces on the knees. All you need is a barbell and a rack
