The Cheapest Belt Squat I Could Find…Revolt Belt Squat Review!

If you have a rack with a lat pulldown build in you can just get a 20$ cable kit, install the pulley under the pullup bar by using a ratchet strap and stand on some yoga blocks. It's basically a 20$ rogue rhino.

I would like to know the inexpensivee smith machine

Can you do a review on the Signature Fitness belt squat? Looks really good and only $60 on Amazon

Coop, there is a company out there called Signature Fitness that offers this type of belt squat attachment for $79.99 with free shipping.

overpriced

How about the IronMind belt squat for 200. I also saw a knock off of this design by signature fitness for about 70 dollars on Amazon.

Have you tried doing two arm bent over rows on it? With a reg bar attached.....

I went with CORE BLASTER SQUAT ATTACHMENT WITHOUT BELT from elite fts. It has a nice jack $165 before the 15% code they had in January (Jan15) I have a spud belt and land mine set up already so it ended up being worth it.

How have people found the customer service from Revolt? I purchased one in the UK which wasn't engineered properly (weights post is too wide to fit 2" plates), this was 6+ months ago and am still yet to get a reply to send a replacement - overall not impressed.

This is really cool but I'd love if they cut out some 1 inch holes along the side of the arm, so you can slap on some leg rollers and utility pins and use if to leg curls and leg extensions

He did good with the video but he still gets a thumb down why would you talk about the most affordable squat equipment and never mention the price?

lot of stuff there but you look like you dont train 🤷‍♂ whyyy

I know this is an older video but, do you think this would fit the sm1 squat rack ?

Coop, is it ok to just use a weighted dip belt for belt squats or should I buy a real belt for belt squatting?

Its cheap and its okay BUT Not that safe for your back... The loading forces are at an angle instead of vertical so it is not as good as a loading pin with plates used while standing on pair of boxes or bench supports... Otherwise a simple landmine set up would be cheaper; easier to implement and produce the same results with same side negative technical drawbacks... Either way you don't even need a power rack : that's a big plus for some home gym enthusiasts...

Wow. Thank you for that. Can u do one for leg press please ?

Honestly, for 200 bucks, I'd make a wooden one of this specific version.

Investigating what? There's a fucking video.

I’m glad you mentioned the load distribution of what you are actually lifting. Since it’s lever action and you stand behind the weight you aren’t lifting the true amount of weights on the attachment. I had a PowerTec. I calculated and actually used a scale to determine what % of the load I was lifting. The most consistent % I determined is I was lifting 70% of the load.

"I know there are ppl who don't want to scratch their rack."
Yes, son
We call them ridiculous pussies

Looks weight is on hip.

Looks like an accident waiting to happen. The belt attachment break, and you fall forward.

Why not a hack squat attachment, or a way to mimic a goblet squat. If any mechanical engineer is reading, this could be a interesting project.

not the cheapest anymore

At 219 it's not the cheapest alternative. Signature fitness has virtually the exact same attachment for 69.

Never was the cheapest, not even close.

I WAS considering this. Until I saw they inflated their regular price to $299 just to say theyre on sale for $180 for black friday. Talk about shady business practices.

Could you just use a landmine and raise it higher up?

They come with the stand also makes it very easy

thanks for the video

Thank you

This thing sucks. I ordered it and i hate it. I also ordered their rack mounted leg ext and was exteemely disappointed. This is the first piece of equipment that you gave a possitive review that has been trash. Revolt has terrible customer service, took over 3 weeks to get my missing washers.

Signature makes the same one for $75 how is this the cheapest one? Gotta be a paid sponsorship

You needed a calculator to compute 60% of 300lbs?

Bells of steel has one similar design, and I want to say it is cheaper and better.

Does it fit on the major lutie

I really wish someone company would make a combo belt squat / seated calf raise attachment. Seems to make so much sense but I can’t find one anywhere.

Will this work with the Vesta smith machine 3 in 1?

👏👍💪🇵🇷🙏🥇

just get a 6x6 plank 16 ft long. anchor one end into a tree. put a recycling bin full of rocks on the far end and attach your belt to a chain looping around.. you move the chain up and down the pole for different resistances. Dont be SUCH a ConsuMER, leave the shopping to the ladies

Can you review their leg extension?

For owners of equipment like the inspire FT2, couldn't a belt be used with pullies to achieve the same movement or is there enough weight?

What belt works best with this attachment?

when my son was recovering from labrum surgery we rigged up a belt squat with a Spud belt, a Spud loading pin, and some chain, hook, and carabiners. He would stand on a couple of metal plyobox stands with the weight on another box and then he would lift it up a few inches and his friend would pull the box away. Conversely we had a couple of aluminum ramps and he would duck walk up the ramp. Simple and cheap. the loading pin would be used with some attachments (grenades) to use for dip work. Between the belt squats and sled pulls he was able to maintain his lower body until he recovered from surgery and could start using his upper body (he played football in HS and college).

My wife scratched my nice pretty red rack. Now i dont care. She crushed my hopes of a nice rack

There’s another option on Amazon that’s essentially a copy of this from a brand COBANTFIT. Priced under 70 bucks. Been liking that so far and it seems pretty durable!

Its not so much the length of the belt squat arm but its angle, if you have it high up on a rack at a steep angle then you are not lifting the weight straight up, which will reduce the load.
Set the belt squat arm at a low angle and you will not reduce the load so much.

Simple solution to the lever sway on a squat is to make the arm reciprocating on a internal tension spring keeping the squat movement parallel as the arm moves in and out limiting the reciprocation buy adding stopper dowels

I bought a cheap $60 one off Amazon that fits my 2x2 rack and pivots which is a nice feature, works perfectly fine and I typically use it as a burnout exercise or supplement it on other days of squats

kraftmark has a standalone belt squat thats low cost and tiny now, needs a review

I just don't see the point. It still puts torque on the lower back. Look how far you have to lean forward to hit depth. Belt squats aren't supposed to be axial loading.

The new version has adjustable length and comes with a belt. Cool that they listened and redponded by improving the product. I ordered one a few days ago.
