The belt squat machine is our latest designed fitness equipment, which differs from other squat strength equipment in that it adds waist weight for squat and pull-up training. The belt squat machine increases the weight on the waist by connecting the belt to the barbell plate, making it an effective gym equipment for people who want to perform higher-level exercises such as squats.
There are two ways to use the belt squat machine:
1. Stand on the pedals with both feet, tie a belt, shorten the length of the belt, choose the handle that stands upright in front of you, and hold the handle with both hands to squat deeply under the load.
2. Stand on the pedals with both feet, tie a belt, and increase the length of the belt. Flip the handle in front of the equipment in front of you, and two horizontal handles will appear in front of you. Hold these two handles with both hands for suspended load pull up training.
It should be noted that warm-up exercises should be performed before training. In addition, when using it, one should choose a suitable weight for exercise to avoid excessive weight causing damage to the waist.
What are the benefits of weight-bearing squats?
1. The most effective action to enhance overall strength
People call squats the "king of strength training", and it's simple. The largest muscle group is used during squats, and if we consider support, almost all skeletal muscles are involved in exerting force.
2. The most effective action to increase muscle mass throughout the body
Squatting is a double joint compound movement, and the body secretes the most growth hormone during squatting. Therefore, heavy squats can not only promote leg muscle growth, but also promote overall muscle growth.
3. The most effective action to increase explosive power
Explosive power is the ability to unleash as much force as possible in the shortest possible time. The key points of explosive power training are heavy weight, rapid exertion, maximum muscle coordination, and good neural regulation ability.
4. The most effective action to improve jumping ability
Squatting comprehensively exercises the strength of the quadriceps, biceps, buttocks, and calves required for jumping ability, with higher efficiency than pure jumping exercises. Therefore, it is a necessary exercise for professional track and field, basketball, and volleyball players.
