Belt Squat Machine Demonstration

I decided to try the Belt Squat Machine for the first time after hearing rave reviews from the forums and Layne Norton.

Some information I found on the internet...

This allows a lifter to perform a full squat in perfect form, and with 100% comfort as the weight does not sit on the upper spine. The Squat is a necessary movement for physical and athletic excellence, but not all of your patients are built to squat in the conventional way. The Belt Squat machine is one of the best ways to perform loaded squats without placing loads on your spine. This is important for several reasons:

It allows for faster recovery due to unloading of the spine
It allows you to squat with upper body injuries that inhibit you from holding a bar on your back
The downward pull of the belt provides a traction like effect to the spine (great for lower back problems)
You can train to failure with little fear of injury

Hi Y-squared! Be be careful with your butt - I don't want you to break yourself.

Are you still going in MWF evenings? Maybe I'll see you sometime.

My glute injury still hasn't healed, I'm going to go roll on a tennis ball some more :(

I have one of these in my gym. Check out my vids. The thing is great! Alot different than the Westside Belt Squat. Someone said it sucks compared to the Westside model but they are two totally different machines really. I personally like the Power Lift better which is why I own it. Deadlifts on it are great also!

its just another version of the zane squat machine. this is good because you can get full range and no shallow squats like most guys do.

"It feels good in my butt" -thats what she said.

[agentbobbarker]

[SlabIronChest]

it takes all the pressure off your lower back and the weight is borne by your hips. feels good man

[skibasgym]
