The Belt Squat Tower

The Belt Squat Tower, by RWJ Extreme Fitness is one of the best ways to perform loaded squats without placing loads on your spine. This is important for several reasons:

It allows for faster recovery due to unloading of the spine.

It allows you to squat with upper body injuries that inhibit you from holding a bar on your back.

The downward pull of the belt provides a traction like effect to the spine (great for lower back problems).

You can train to failure with little fear of injury.
