The traditional way to perform hip belt squats is with a purpose-built machine, or a low cable. If you’ve tried any of these and don’t like this setup, or don’t have access to the equipment, then try this.
This is relatively easy to get in and out of, and for a higher rep quad burner, they’re hard to beat.
You'll notice that I start with the standard band version. Once fatigue sets in I grab a dowel and keep going. It becomes a drop-set since the dowel gives me a little hand on the way up, allowing me to do some extra reps.
A banded hip belt squat can also be useful as a power complex. You'd do some heavy-ish squats (say, 85% 1RM for 3-5 reps), wait a few minutes, then do 5-7 banded belt squats as fast as you can.
You should feel a slight potentiation effect from the heavy pre-load. The band will also teach you to speed through it, while accelerating you on the way down. This has a powerful effect on the neuromuscular system that most sports strength coaches will appreciate.
The advantage with bands is that you don’t need much of a setup. You can use either a dipping belt or loop through a lifting belt. This is something Westside Barbell has done for years, so I can’t claim to have come up with the banded method. Albeit the drop-set is an extra nasty take on it. – Gareth Sapstead
