Hip Belt for Belt Squat recommendations

Pheedno · Oct 11, 2024

Just picked up a belt squat attachment for a rig - https://revoltfitness.com/products/belt-squat-attachment-1

I've never done belt squats before. Do you guys have a belt/attachment you prefer? Rogue, Henny, Spud?

Spud makes great stuff.

I bought Spud. Works great. The belt squat takes off pressure on my knees which is why I started using it. Hope it works great for you

Can never go wrong with spud. I have their dip belt and it's perfect. I've heard the same on their belt squat belt. I went with Rogue just to try it for my belt squat, nice and comfy (reason I went with it). No regrets. I'd buy again. Either will work.

No experience with other brands except an old school Westside leather belt that was probably used for a decade or more there. Worked fine but wanted a nice thick cushy one to try.

I have the Pillow Belt Squat belt from Spud and then added the belt squat cover by AbMat. Feels like a pillow on my hips. Extremely comfortable!

That pillow belt looks crazy comfy and a better design than Rogue's. Saw the cover too...wow. I'm not replacing what I have (shit works) but if I was buying again I'd go pillow belt and add the cover if I felt inclined. These weren't around a few years ago. I'm impressed with your commitment to luxury and comfort!!

It literally does feel like I have a pillow wrapped around my hips. The Spud belt was comfy enough, but once I added that cover…. Man, huge difference!!!

Side note: I recently started doing bent over rows at the belt squat machine (just using a straight bar where you'd normally attach the snap hook of the belt). The feel is pretty damn good, give it a try.
