Deal Details
Transitioning from Back Squat and Deadlifts to belt squat, leg press, ham curls, and quad extensions, because of wanting to reduce back strain or injury.

This is very similar to the highly praised ATX leveraged weight plated loaded belt squat machine selling for $1300. Here is that machine so you can compare it to the Syedee: https://www.atxfitness.com/atx-co...belt-squat

Wish I had the room for this... sigh... resorting to landmine belt squat for now. I just need to create a DYI stand so that I can start the belt squat in an upright position. Anyone Have a solution for that need?

Here is that post... on that thread someone else pointed to T E M U to get similar machine for $300... but I could not find it it on T E M U. https://slickdeals.net/f/18714592-50-0ff-syedee-belt-squat-machine-leg-machine-for-strength-training-hack-squat-machine-with-weightlifting-belt-4-adjustable-positions-800lb-weight-capacity-429-99?v=1&p=186125550&comment=success#post186125550

BTW, I am currently using a landmine attached at the back frame of the squat rack, then using a weight plate holder on the front frame at a higher height so I can load weights and start the belt squat at a higher, better upright position. Then I lift it off the weight plate holder, step to the side for clearance of the weight plate holder to do the belt squats. Then return to rest on the weight plate holder in the higher upright position to unload.

Some suggested using a J-hook instead of the weight plate holder, but my Mikolo F4 v2.02 does not have holes in the sides of the frame to place J-hooks. I could place the landmine on the left front post and then use a J-hook in the right front post. Then do the belt squats more on the side of the rack. Using J-hook would be less lateral moving to clear the longer weight-plate holder. May give that a try.

Someone on Youtube recommended instead of a landmine, use a hammock strap (they are $10 for a pair and have 1000lb weight capacity each; can be used like those costly Henny Straps too for other exercises) to hang the non-weighted end of the barbell at a higher height than a typically placed landmine. This significantly minimizes the arc of the weighted end because of not just the higher height of the non-weighted end, but also because it is free to move forward or backward as you do your belt squat which reduces the path more to a vertical path, much less of a restricted arc path.

All interesting ideas.

All much cheaper too!

That last method is my choice for a DIY belt squat after trying everything else (even a cable machine with pulley mounted on the floor wasn't as nice). It feels the most natural and doesn't take anything besides a loaded barbell and a $10 strap. The hardest part is finding something sturdy you can use to hold the weight off the floor so you can start and end the squat at the top, but it sounds like you have something for that.

The other problem is if you do have a way to jack up the height on the loaded end, the total weight may teeter-totter the other end up. Just be careful loading. Maybe a cheap car jack can be used to raise the loaded end? Probably best to use for modest total weight.
