There are no specific ways to use this machine. Use it however you feel it works best for you. You can even use one arm at a time. It's an intuitive kind of thing.

About sissy, In what case exist a risk to knee injuries or tibia injuries ?
@carolinabarbellgym6 ай бұрын
Great question, I know what you're talking about too. I've seen the horror clips of people's knees slipping/popping when the person is in the bottom of the squat on these. What I've found is that if you don't stay tight throughout the movement, you increase your chances of that happening. Also, pushing past ones strength level on this movement will also increase that risk. So my recommendation and how I teach people is start slow and hit a depth that they can "own" meaning they feel confident in. Once that is achieved, you can work on hitting parallel or add holding a weight. It's not one of those movments that someone needs to do a 1rm with, it's an accessory movement for the quads and should be programed as such. I hope that helps. -Pete

@carolinabarbellgym7 ай бұрын
The bigger lifters in the gym tend to want/need some help to un-clip, while others can do it fine. The clip sits around your shoulder blade, so I would say if you can touch your shoulder blade you can un-clip it without help.

anybody used a kbox or kratos flywheel for belt squats and lunges? How does it compare to rhino belt squat? I am not a powerlifter just lift to have lean muscle and for jujitsu training and aesthetics. I have a bad knee do to sports (arthritis) so maybe kbox or kratos will be better?
@carolinabarbellgym9 ай бұрын
I've used a flywheel years ago at a military gym. It's a great machine but feels different than a belt squat. Unlike a belt squat machine where the load is, for the most part, the same throughout the movement, the flywheel has a unique power curve at the change of direction. Both are great ways to train. If space is a factor, the flywheel might be a better option. -Pete

Are these the same as zerrcher squats?
@carolinabarbellgym10 ай бұрын
A zercher squat is where you have a barbell in the crook of your arms ( the opposite point of your elbows) so the weight is on your arms. You could use a straight bar attachment to the cable of this machine and then you could do a zercher squat.

@carolinabarbellgym10 ай бұрын
@futbol1972 That is a complicated question for sure. What I will say is if you can air squat with no pain, and if you can hold a 30lb weight in your arms and squat with no pain, I would assume you could squat with the chest harness on. The empty rack on this belt squat is 30 lbs. Then, you could just add weight over weeks and months as needed to build strength. Look into the back pain episodes on Barbell Medicine's podcast. They have some great info on how to deal with it, and also consult your doctor if you feel the need to get medical advice. I've had all sorts of back pain throughout my military time, and strengthening it has been the only "cure" for my pain. -Pete

@carolinabarbellgym Жыл бұрын
I feel most of the pressure on my hips, no low back pain for myself. If your back hurts with one of these spud inc belts ( that are made of just nylon) pressing on your low back, they do make ones with padding. We have both, and to be honest, I'm growing fond of the padded one. We have many Vets that I know of with back issues, and they love the belt squat.

It's crazy all the exercises you can do with the rhino it's a great machine. It's great at belt squats that's for sure. However, I dont know if I will buy it just for squats🙄 About the other exercises you can do on rhino I can do them on my lat pull down or FT, curls, lat pull downs, cable curls, low rows l, let curls etc. However, something ideally like about rhino is that i can turn it into a reverse hyper... I do have 2 buldging disk in lower back and love doing belt squats and reverse hyper should help my lower back too🙂 I iam buying rep pr4000 with ares.withing a month. I know as far as doing belt squats u can't beat the rhino OR squat max, however I believe I can mimic belt squats with a DYI belt squat system or with one of thoese leverage arm belt squats. I like the sorinex squat j squat. I know the angle it's a little different with leverage arm tha when squating with belt squats but for the price difference I think it's worth the shot?? I still like the rhino though. LOL Iam trying to convince my self not to buy it. Lol. However I think it's more like a luxury🙄

yea I was thinking about getting the rhino belt squat plus rack..the rack it's 24" but it looks like there is only about 4-5 inches of space from the front uprights ato the rhino platform on floor..i don't see how I can do incline, decline using a bench outside of rack? Right now I have a prx wall rack and when I do decline and incline bench I have to move the bench back about 13 inches so I can bench..I don't think I will be able to bench outside this rack with rhino built in to it:( I emailed rogue and they said that not even the 30" rack will work with a bench outside since it only has about 6-9 inches of space in the front:( so I don't know what they ment by me been able to lift outside of rack without a bench. Lol.. Iam I supoused to bench, incline, decline standing up without bench. Lol I don't know what's the purpose of them selling it with rack if I can't really use rack not even outside of it?

I am not a big fan of this machine as is. They need to create a quick release attachment if you get stuck at the bottom of a rock bottom rep. I have short legs and I got stuck at the bottom and had to get help to get out of the screwed up belt. The link in the middle is a pain in the ass to work its some weird ass looking rock climbing gizmo. They need to get rid of that piece of shit and create a super easy quick release attachment. A machine where you cant go to failure safely is not a good machine. In its essence its a great idea but dont go to failure at the bottom or your fucked.

Hey guys, in the video you were doing deadlifts on the Rogue Rhino Belt Squat. You utilized blocks for the deadlifts and was wondering if you could tell me how high it is from the ground. I'd like to make a pair but not sure how you compensated for the raised platform. Can you advise please? Appreciate it.
@carolinabarbellgym4 жыл бұрын
So we used our 6" deadlift blocks we have. They are comprised of a bunch of 2×4s standing on end glued and screwed together with a 3/4" piece of plywood on top also glued and screwed together. With a rubber pad on top of that. Total height is 6". Now the rogue belt squat platform is 7 1/4" so our blocks put us in a slight deficit.
