No way this video dropped when I for the first time just considered getting a belt squat machine this morning before this short was even out, it's a sign!!!

[sonishkumar]

my gym got this and this is a staple on leg day

[aaronwylie]

I programmed these in instead of low-bar squats, due to alot of elbow & wrist pain that persisted and made bench press painful. These are amazing, buttery smooth.

Bro, You never cease to amaze me with new ways to achieve amazing gains without compromising ROM. Never seen this before but pumped to try it💪🏼👍🏻

I got the bells of steel belt squat last year and can confirm my legs have never been bigger. I built a wooden wedge platform so I can go super deep and push the knees way out, and the weight lever arms are more parallel to the ground at the bottom position (more tension at the bottom in the deep stretch) since I’m raised. Doing MYO reps with this is no longer a question of cardio/bracing/lower back being the limiting factor. To have your legs shaking the last reps but you’re not out of breath… it’s a beautiful feeling. I finally have defined quads, this machine is worth the price and space!

Loving the Symphonia soundtracks in these shorts

[JasonAizatoZemeckis]

Funnily enough, i did this all the time when i was younger because I had a dip belt that i had and let the weight hang inbetween two boxes, i can absolutely vouch for their effectiveness, also Alex being cultured yet again with that Symphonia soundtrack

[bambostarla]

Wish I had this at my gym.
Front squats are the next best thing though. Love them to bits

I love the Rogue Rhino belt squat ..I haven’t tried many ..But that one it’s freaking awesome ! I’ve had back issues for long time and that allows me to do squats without feeling like crap the next day

[jakesmith-hobl]

Definitely easier on the shoulders as well. Shoulder mobility is what keeps me from progressing on squats.

[loregasmic]

Could never go beyond 4 plates on a regular squat due to back/shoulder issues but have no problem doing 5 plates for reps on belt squat. Love it.

I removed the handle bar on my BOS, allows for many new variations with split leg and torso fwd like donkey calve but more so donkey squats.

I recognize the tales of symphonia dungeon music

I can’t wait to find an affordable belt squat setup to use in my garage gym. Love the video!

[javiermartinezcenalmor]

Hello!, i find that the belt and/or chain is incredibly painful in the lower back/ hips. I think i might be positioning the belt wrong.

[FreireThierry]

What do you mean by no overload required ? Just keep adding reps ? Increasing frequency ?
Many thanks for the video inspiration

[Marco-pfte]

Any advice on how to mimic this movement when there's no belt squat in the gym?

[kbqzh]

Would belt squats be viable for a 20 rep breathing \ super squat program?

[lewisstrongofficial]

You’re wearing your Leonidas Strong shirt while I’m wearing my Lewis Strong shirt for my workout. Obviously mine was inspired by yours and I don’t have anywhere near your following but I thought it would be cool regardless.

Hey Alex, what do you think of kettlebell kickstand squats?
