FEATURES
Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Belt Squat | PL-BSQ Key Features:
- Loads the legs without compressing the spine, perfectly mimicking barbell squats for explosive strength and maximum loading while sparing the back
- Equipped with front and rear loading horns
- Four belt anchor points allow shifting resistance curves—closer anchor adds perceived load, farther reduces it
- Integrated band pegs support elastic overload up to near 1:1 ratio
- Gravity‑released lock engages at setup and automatically disengages when squatting begins—no need to rack or reset between reps
- Robust 11‑gauge steel frame
Multiple Anchoring Points
Our Hammer Strength Belt Squat is equipped with four belt anchoring points, providing athletes with the flexibility to adjust the loading mechanics of their squat. By hooking the belt closer to the weight, the perceived resistance increases, resulting in a heavier and more intense squat. Conversely, anchoring the belt farther away reduces the load, allowing for a greater range of motion and more explosive movements.
Band Pegs
Users can increase their power development with our built-in band pegs. These pegs enable athletes to add variable resistance, increasing tension throughout the full range of motion and reinforcing explosive strength at the peak of each rep. Ideal for athletes training for speed, power, and controlled force production, this feature ensures optimal performance and results.
Belt / Band Storage
Optimize your facility’s organization and efficiency with our built-in storage hooks for belts and bands. Engineered for quick access and convenience, these hooks keep essential gear within reach, reducing clutter and streamlining transitions between sets. Whether switching between athletes or adjusting resistance with bands, our storage solution ensures that everything remains secure, accessible, and ready for action.
MORE WEIGHT, LESS STRAIN
Unlike machines that enforce a fixed movement, our Belt Squat follows a natural, user-defined path, mimicking the barbell squat while keeping the load off the back. Athletes can push maximum loads without experiencing the compression or restraints of a barbell squat. Our intentional design makes it the preferred choice for heavy leg training, offering uncompromised performance.
PERFORM WEIGHTED DIPS
With the optional dip attachment, our Belt Squat transforms into a fully integrated dip station that bolts directly onto the machine, providing high-impact dip training without taking up extra floor space. No need for a separate dip bar or rack attachment—just pure, weighted dip training in a compact, efficient setup.
