I’ve always had an excuse for why my squats lacked

“My knees have issues”

“I have too long of femurs”

Etc etc

But at the start of this summer I decided to shift my attitude a bit and see what I could push my squat too

Few weeks in I had comfortably built back to 300lbs

And then @strengththroughdiscipline decided to lend a helping hand and wrote up a 8 week program for me

At the end of those 8 weeks I hit a five rep PR & 3 single PRs

Safe to say the program helped a TON

Biggest takeaway that helped my squat the most was simply increasing the frequency

I almost always would just squat 1x/week

But going to 2x/week helped immensely

Pair that w/ gradual progression in intensity/volume and I got the results that I did

Best thing about it though

My knees feel the best they ever have

And my overall movement still feels amazing (jumps/sprints/grappling)

Don’t listen to pencil neck functional bros

Rather listen to jacked grapplers that have BEEN doing this for years

Belt squats are a must have for wrestlers

They’re one of my favorite ways to incorporate squats into my routine

In wrestling the low back already gets a butt load of volume as it is (doesn’t mean that we don’t challenge it in the weight room)

& it’s nice to have a tool that allows us to just focus on challenging the lower body w/o our low back being a limiting factor

What’s also nice about nearly all belt squat machines is that they can be used for more than just squats (rows, deadlifts, RDLs, split squats. Etc)

This is huge for home gyms or small gyms that are limited on space

& in todays market there’s nearly a belt squat device for any and all price ranges ($-$$$)

In some of the clips you’ll see @strengththroughdiscipline using a level belt squat that he built himself 🔥

If you’re looking for a well made & affordable option reach out to him & he’ll give you more info on it

You can tell it’s well made & built to last just by him squatting 700lbs+ on it 😭🤯
