Powertec Lever Gym DIY Hip Belt Squat

How I made a DIY Hip Belt Squat with my Powertec Lever Gym

It would be great to convert the bar attachment into back support like pendulum squat while doing these.

Very creative, Chris! I did one for my Levergym as well. It's a great machine to hack for a belt squat.

Thanks, I watched your version of the belt squat and figured I could diy a version as well.

I like it

[@chrisallenworkingoutathome]

Thanks, a good way to avoid low back strain.

What was the reason for ‘losing’ the low row cable position?

[@chrisallenworkingoutathome]

This is an older powertec, the low cable on the machine is about knee height, won’t work for a belt squat.

Nice setup. Do you have on older version of the levergym because mine looks slightly different where the FID bench attaches to the levergym. I am also missing the base leg at the bottom you loop the ankle straps around. Thank you.

Mine is pre 2010 version as it is different than the oldest official powertech video I can find on CZcams . Thanks for the comment.

This's kind of stuff !

Is there a reduction in absolute weight due to using pullys?

[@chrisallenworkingoutathome]

Shouldn't be, I'm not using a Block and Tackle pulley system.
