I finally attempted belt squats and they are absolutely brutal, i dropped down onto one knee after my sets and just looked up at the gym ceiling contemplating my decision
The feeling and movement is completely different than a tradional high bar squat, i actually prefer belt squats over squatting in the rack, belt is much harder and takes way more out of me. The majority of the tension is on the hips.
I utilize a strap and hold onto it and lean as far back as possible and utlixe a wider stance when i belt squat, the activation from belt squat is fantastic, i go down slow, pause and hold, then explode up through the movement.
I kept it simple this leg routine, i decided i needed more hamstring work, so i am adding in RDL movements, went lite so i can work on getting the movement down properly first.
I tried the wheel roller for the first time and did full extension of my body full strexh pause squeeeze and hold, these also are brutal but i enjoyed them alot, hard as hell though.
