Product Information

The design of a lifting belt usually isn’t going to be a deal-breaker. Belts tend to be functional rather than aesthetic choices, but at the same time, you may have a preference for a more or less traditional design. In that case, a lot of belts offer different color and style options, and there are some that you can fully design and customize. Different Types of Weightlifting Belts

Because the movement is completely driven by the lower body, you can get a better sense of driving the weight through your hips, which you can then carry over to your regular squat. I perform belt squats by hooking around the bar on my smith machine. I have to stand on plates to get the depth. I’m 5ft 9in, 176lbs with around a 31in waist. Would I be best buying the medium size? What’s the difference between medium and regular? Because the weight ‘horns’ are in the center of the unit, the weight doesn’t extend out the sides which keeps everything nice and compact. The arc is such that the weight gets heavier as you go down – whereas in a squat the deeper knee flexion the lower the force production.Belt squats are an excellent and handy squat variation that belongs in every serious lifter’s lower body training program. If you’re a recreational lifter, then you don’t need a lifting belt for success, however, that doesn’t mean it can’t be useful. For example, if you plan to push your limits and train heavy consistently, then a belt can be a useful tool based on your goals and needs to ensure your torso is receiving enough support. How much do weightlifting belts cost? If you're squatting too frequently, you might start to notice that your elbows and wrists start to get slightly beat up. The hip belt squat removes any elbow and wrist extension required to train the lower body. Hi, is the small version shorter in lenght than the medium one? I'm worried the belt might be too long for my current home setup. Thanks! This belt is on the lower end of the price range, which is a big deal considering the features included.

You can also only fit up to 350lbs on the machine using the narrow stance overlay with smaller diameter plates.
