Do Belt Squats ANYWHERE! (Home or Public Gym

Do Belt Squats ANYWHERE! (Home or Public Gym - No Machine Needed- DIY)

Күн бұрын

Belt squats are a great exercise to perform to give your lower back a break but still train your squat. However, the machine to perform them is very expensive and big. I have seen some people try to mimic them however these ways have some HUGE drawbacks. I have come up with a way to perform them that I feel can be done at any gym and it closely mimics a belt squat. So sit back and listen to me on how you can Perform Belt Squats Anywhere whether it is in a home or public gym setting

Tried your version of this today and man I can't thank you enough. It really wasn't hard to get set and the movement is a great variation. I could feel it much more in the quads. Other guys were looking at me with a bit of "squat envy" lol Thanks again dude.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us, it's a brilliant idea and suits my set up very well. I've been doing a lot of deficit deadlift and good morning volume on my lower days, so this movement is a very valuable tool for getting some quad/abductor work in when my back is already fatigued.

I've never had to do belt squats in my life, a regular barbell squat was always more than enough for me. But I'm training my buddies now and they both have lower back problems so regular squats are off the table and I've been looking for alternatives and this might be very helpful. Thanks a lot!
