    Black Widow Training Gear sell a pin/pipe adapter for belt squats and Viking press, and the mammoth belt squat is another cheap and effective way to do it

    I just tried this setup in my home gym and it works so well. It's way better than my previous method of attaching plates directly to a dip belt and standing on bumpers. Thanks so much for the idea and all the info you put out!

    Belt squats always felt a little off. I blamed the lever pulling me forward, hopefully this helps. Thanks for video

    Good idea but I dunno if I have the confidence to setup the rack like that at a globo gym

      Worst case, some people will look at you in a weird way. Probably the people staring will be that guy that curls in the squat rack and that gal who takes the ski-erg, landmine, squat rack, and 3 pairs of the lightest DBs for her circuit. You'll be doing fine friend

    Is there a set up to use the belt squat for increasing conventional deadlift?

    I've had a similar experience from doing high-bar smith squats where I cue super hard to stay on my quads. I haven't had access to belt squat machines that don't feel really uncomfortable, they tend to be kinda small and cramped here

  • @wolrdsstrongestdrummer

    My only problem in the past was being too short and the plates hitting the floor before I hit parallel

    • @BrazosValleyStrength
      @BrazosValleyStrength  Před 18 dny

      Connecting the belt pretty high makes the biggest difference and setting the far side low helps a lot too. Worst case scenario, you could stand on a plate too but I haven’t found that most people need to do that.

    if your torso is leaning forward, wouldn't that make the belt overload your lower back a lot?

    IMO a lever belt squat is a pretty damn cheap piece of equipment for a home gym that does something (quad work w/o spine loading) that you can’t duplicate and people should just buy one.
