About this deal

So it’s great to see Rogue decided to go with the steel D-rings. D-Rings Can Cause Aggravation For Larger Users When Doing Marches This point is a combination of the previous two. A belt isn’t always worn for heavy singles — you may want to wear it for higher-rep sets, so you have extra support when you become fatigued deep into the set. The best belts are comfortable to wear despite their support and should inspire confidence without being distracting or painful. Some belts do require a breaking-in period, which is understandable, but lower-quality belts oftentimes never break in, and those types of belts aren’t included on our list. we have a small favor to ask.

Belt squat machines with under-loaded pulley systems, such as the one popularized by Louie Simmons, have been around for a while. Pit Sharks and similarly designed machines generally take up a similar amount of floor space but are very effective robust lever-based machines.

It's really up to the individual lifter, the belt has been designed for comfort, having the rings together would guarantee comfort, as the belt would fit around the hips better, the chain approach you suggest maybe just as comfortable, but for some, as the weight adds up, may find the chain digs into the hips a little more. For lifters with injured core muscles, a belt squat is a great way to target the quads without placing undue stress on the core. Good for lifters with limited shoulder mobility Some other multi belts have nylon/fabric D-rings as opposed to steel and I think most users found them quite fiddly to attach the carabiner to, whereas the steel rings were far easier to use.

Additional Reference

One big issue some people face with other machines is that the lever arm will hit the ground when you’re at the bottom of your squat, which in my eyes makes those machines functionally useless…

Belt squats are an excellent and handy squat variation that belongs in every serious lifter’s lower body training program. Once this thing is set up, it’s really quite difficult to move around the gym alone, and even with help. While there are some other sneaky exercises you can do with a belt machine, the star of the show is the belt squat. The Belt Squat is an exercise that uses a standard squat movement, but rather than loading all the weight up on your shoulders, it puts the load on your hips and lower body via a belt that you wear around your waist. Belt Squat OptionsThe Titan comes with a safety stopper which will catch the weights at the bottom range of motion if you fail a rep. Therefore, when you decide you should squat twice per week, you can use the belt squat for a few weeks on a second training day to get used to the added lower body training volume first. This is a smoother transition than simply jumping to twice/week squat frequency. Can be easily modified to target either glutes or quads

Clearly, multiple D-rings is going to be the best choice for commercial gyms where there’s high traffic volume or even just for home gyms where you have several different people using the belt squat attachment on your rig. The easy-on/easy-off nature of this belt makes it perfect for workouts that combine weightlifting with gymnastics.It feels very similar to using a cable machine but it’s actually quite a bit easier to balance this way and really requires no hand rail to use since the weight is pulling you straight down. The Science Says They Work Better Too!

However you can only use up to 35lb “smaller diameter” plates, so if you’ve only got Olympic plates, they’re not going to work with the narrow stance overlay. But for those lifters who limited in terms of shoulder mobility, whether because they cannot externally rotate to properly grip the barbell or they have an injured shoulder (happened to me more times than I can count during my competitive swimming career!), belt squats take shoulders completely out of the equation. Hi, the Spud Inc Belt Squat Belt is made to a very high quality. Although Spud Inc have not published the maximum load for the belt, it could easily handle weights in excess of 350kg. We have no experience of using the Elitefts Core Blaster, but looking at videos of it in use I would suggest the medium belt for this setup, this might mean you won't need the use of boxes. If you have boxes however the regular should be fine, as the boxes will allow you to get good depth. With the resistance (either plates or a pulley system), belt squats provide a degree of safety you won’t find with dumbbells and barbells. Can help with your squatting techniqueYes, it’s more than twice the price of a Bells Of Steel/Titan belt squat machine, but that’s like comparing apples to oranges. The Rogue Rhino is a tank of a machine, but also has a relatively small footprint. It’s just super difficult to move around and isn’t ideal in places with a very low ceiling. If you’re a bodybuilder or athlete who’s ears perk up at the sound of ‘increased muscle fiber activation’, perhaps the Squatmax-MD is right for you. How Much Room Do You Have? ANOVA revealed the SquatMax-MD belt squat resulted in the highest muscle activation in every muscle, with significantly higher activity in the rectus femoris, vastus medialis oblique, and gluteus medius muscles. The Monster Rhino belt squat produced the second highest muscle activation with the Pit Shark belt squat creating the lowest muscle activation. In totality, the SquatMax-MD produced 38.7% greater muscle activation than the Pit Shark and 12.2% greater activation than the Monster Rhino. 1 https://www.heighpubs.org/jnpr/jnpr-aid1035.php
