Movement Highlight: Belt Squat Sumo Deadlift
Introducing a stellar movement for overloading the posterior chain (re: glutes and hamstrings) similar to a deadlift or Romanian deadlift BUT with a slight change - performed on a belt squat machine
You’ll [obviously] need a belt squat machine or access to a belt squat machine for this one. Once you have that, this movement allows you to overload this hinge dominant movement to target glutes and hamstring. The machine provides a fixed movement pattern which allows for the load to be higher and rep range to be higher; leading to greater hypertrophy/size gains when mixed in with a quality program and diet
Load the belt squat up and give this a go. Careful stepping off the machine afterwards - this glutes definitely will feel it
