How to perform the Belt Squat Machine
- 1Stand on the platform with your feet about shoulder-width apart, clip the belt to the machine so the weight hangs between your legs, and tighten it so it sits comfortably on your hips while you hold the handles or rail for balance. Brace your core, keep your chest up, and look straight ahead.
- 2Bend your hips and knees to sit straight down into a squat until your thighs are about parallel to the floor or as low as feels comfortable, then drive through your feet to stand back up. Move down in about 2–3 seconds and come up a bit faster, breathing in as you lower and out as you stand tall without locking your knees hard at the top.
Coach tips
- Keep your knees in line with your toes so they don’t cave inward as you squat. Stay upright and let the belt pull straight down so you don’t lean forward like a regular back squat. Start with lighter weight to learn the movement and only go as low as your hips and knees feel good.
