Belt Squat
A squat on a belt-squat machine where a belt around the pelvis carries the resistance instead of a load resting on the shoulders.
Demonstration
Instructions
- Fit the belt around your pelvis and attach it to the machine as instructed. Stand on the platform with feet about shoulder-width apart, take up the load, and release the safety support.
- Brace your torso and bend your hips and knees to squat under control, keeping your heels planted and knees tracking in the direction of your toes.
- Push through your feet to stand up. After the set, re-engage the safety support before detaching the belt.
