Fix Weaknesses & Get Stronger 💪
The Belt Squat helps you build power while protecting your joints.
If you want stronger legs, a bigger squat, and a better deadlift—without beating up your joints—try this 4-week wave on the Belt Squat. I started using it after a bicep injury, and now it’s a staple in my training. It helps build power, improve stability, and keep your body feeling good while still getting strong.
This program is great for anyone who squats with bands because bands can sometimes make you lose power at the bottom of the lift. The belt squat helps fix that by forcing you to stay strong in the bottom.
Plus, no hand assist means you have to fight for good positioning, which makes it even more effective. Want to make it harder? Stand on plates for more range of motion or use foam pads to challenge your balance.
Try the 4-Week Wave:
WEEK 1: 3 sets x 15 reps @ 25% of 1 Rep Max Squat
(Stand on foam pads if possible week 1)
WEEK 2: 3 sets x 12 reps @ 30% of 1 Rep Max Squat
WEEK 3: 4 sets x 8 reps @ 35% of 1 Rep Max Squat
WEEK 4: 4 sets x 6 reps @ 40% of 1 Rep Max Squat
3 Reasons WHY You Should Try Belt Squats
-
Less Stress on Your Back & Shoulders – Since the weight is attached to your hips, there’s no bar on your back, making it easier on your spine and upper body while still crushing your legs.
-
More Power Out of the Hole – If you struggle at the bottom of your squat or deadlift, belt squats help build strength exactly where you need it most.
-
Fix Weaknesses & Improve Stability – No hand assist forces your body to fight for good positioning, helping you develop better control, balance, and overall strength.
