Squat Belt Rack Attachment

I recently added belt squats to my routine and have experimented with a few setups in my home gym. I tried a barbell into a landmine, a barbell hanging horizontally from a rack support, and a loading pin. All 3 options used a wooden platform to get enough squat depth. The main issues with these were getting into position safely with heavy loads and comfort. Most would cause the belt to dig painfully during reps.This lever arm addresses these issues and provides stability. It can handle a lot of weight. Once maxed with plates, adding bands is a great option to keep adding tension.I have a 2x3 rack and used the white sleeves provided in the rack holes. I also cut 2 short pieces of pvc to prevent sideways sway.

I honestly can’t believe how nice this is for what I paid.I have been wanting something to work my legs without loading my spine. I usually just back squat for legs, but this has added new variation without irritating my upper back.The peg is very long, and the whole unit is very robust. I have tried 4 plates on it so far, no issues with its integrity and it can hold a lot more.I had some concerns about being able to get full ROM and it is not an issue. If anything the lockout portion is different, but depth is not an issue.Very, very pleased.Also please disregard the portion in my photo holding it up. I use my deadlift jack to keep it set up for a quick click in and go setup.

Works great. Holds up to 8 45lb plates. I had to make a wooden stand to rest it on so I can load plates and remove my belt. I also got a Spud belt straight from Spud with a discount code. I tried my dip belt but that will dig into your legs plus I don’t fear the Spud belt will break. So in total $140 for this set up which is a good deal. Also there is no need for platforms to stand on. I guess my rack has holes in the perfect spot to attach this where I can squat all the way down without this touching the floor.

Mine was missing the bushings from 1" to the 5/8", so there is slop. I ordered my own bushings online.

It is possible to assemble. The hole on the sleeve is larger than the hole in the arm. I contacted Cobantfit and did not get a response.
