The Arsenal Strength Reloaded Belt Squat is designed with dual multi-angle adjustable platforms to allow users to target specific areas during exercise. Large range of motion for maximum squat depth. An action system combining a lever arm and a cable allows the user to perform a large variety of movements in multiple planes of movement.

The great part about the Arsenal Strength Reloaded Belt Squat is that you can utilise it to perform additional movements. For example, you can perform staggered belt squats or adjust your movement pattern. The point being is that you can hit different muscles and ensure evenly developed muscle hypertrophy.

Belt Squat Benefits

The benefits of belt squats:

1. Allows lower body training with no load on the lower back:

While the barbell squat is generally safe, it places great stress on the lower back as the torso is bent forward. Further, because the load comes straight down, a significant amount of spinal compression also occurs. Now, this in itself isn’t a bad thing. Both can produce a stronger back and core.

Hip belt squats are perfect as the load is placed on the hips. This means there is no axial loading which prevents further spinal compression. In addition, no load is present on the shoulders to create sheer force.

2. Ideal for anyone with mobility issues:

Back squats are the king of lower-body exercises, but they’re not made for injured upper bodies. An often overlooked aspect of the back squat is it requires significant mobility in the shoulder joints. In fact, this is one of the primary reasons a person will perform a safety bar squat.

This isn’t an issue with belt squats. While you should aim to improve shoulder mobility issues (or any other mobility issues), they shouldn’t prevent you from training.

As the belt sits on the hips, it neutralizes any concerns you may have because of an injured arm.

3. Belt squat machines are highly versatile:

While the belt squat machine is generally looked at as being used for squats, you can perform a variety of exercises with it.

4. Great for high-volume lower body training:

We have a love/hate relationship with high-volume leg training. We know it’s awesome for building Godzilla, like quads.

While you could perform high-volume training with the back or front squat or even leg press, we find using belt squats to be significantly more comfortable and effective.

And because you can grab the handrails, you can perform assisted reps after you start to fatigue for some major muscle-building gains. For the lower body, belt squats are probably our favourite exercise to use for a final burnout set.
