Hip Squat belt

[Thunder46]

Hey guys who here has used a hip sqaut belt for leg training I'm looking into getting one, I have 2 ruptured disc in my lower back which makes it just about impossible for me to do regular BB squats I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc.

Yup, I broke my back and have ruptured disk- this is the way to go!

On a side note, back in the 70's this is the only way part of the soviet Olympic athletes were allowed to squat to avoid injuries. The entire wrestling team had to do this cause they weren't allowed to load up a bar and squat.

Hey thunder let us know how this goes..I've seen similar but two boxes for feet and plate hangs vertical so legs aren't so far apart or can be by moving boxes farther apart..ib .

That is really interesting. I would like to try that one time to see how it works for me.

I used it with 2 boxes and man does it work my legs have not been that sore in years. We tried plates and then dumbells to see which felt the most comfortable and both worked pretty well
