Equipment Spotlight: Belt Squat
Want to build serious lower-body strength without loading your spine? The Belt Squat is a game-changer for leg day.
How to do it:
• Attach the belt securely around your hips and clip it to the machine.
• Step onto the platform with feet about shoulder-width apart.
• Sit back and squat down, keeping your chest tall and core engaged.
• Drive through your heels to stand, squeezing your glutes at the top.
• Move with control through the full range of motion.
Why we love it:
The Belt Squat allows you to load the legs heavily while taking stress off the lower back and spine. It’s excellent for building quads, glutes, and hamstrings, improving squat mechanics, and adding volume without overtaxing the upper body. Perfect for athletes, beginners, and anyone managing back limitations.
Next time you’re at PEAK, strap in and let your legs do the work. ⛰️
