Belt Squat

How to do it

  1. Attach a dip belt or harness to the belt squat machine's hip loading point and buckle it around your hips.
  2. Stand on the raised platforms with feet shoulder-width apart, letting the load hang freely below.
  3. Brace your core and keep your torso upright.
  4. Bend your knees and hips to squat until your thighs reach at least parallel.
  5. Drive through your feet to stand back up, keeping the load path vertical, then repeat for reps.
