As I get older I've started paying for my sports career, mainly my joints. A discovered many years old fractured vertebrae in my neck ended my squatting and pushed me to leg press as my primary leg movement. The trouble with that is even slowing the negative, or adding a pause at the bottom, or constant tension I have to use a pretty fair amount of weight which I'm starting to feel more in my knees no matter what the foot placement. It's not bad........yet.
I was thinking of giving belt squats a go mainly because I'd be using a lot less weight.
Has anyone used belt squats and a main or one of their main exercises? I train at home so I'd be purchasing one if I go that route making it hard to try before I buy.
