Got myself the ATX Compact Belt Squat - it's now my favourite equipment. I love it. You can squat like smith machine squat aka lean back and straight up down or squat hatfield style. Can also do it without holding the support . so easy to grind with lots of sets and reps. can do it as often compared to a barbell squat. In fact when you think about it the barbell squat is actually very inefficient for quad development. The BBS is more a compound body exercise. THink about it - who needs anymore unnecessary vertebrae compression. It's very compact for a belt squat yet does what it advertises. IThe only downside is ATX don't sort the screws - they just give it to you in a bag !! took a long time to figure which goes where. It's also incredible for donkey calf raises. As in anything ATX the material used is top notch solid no BS quality. hated building it up - everything was so heavy. You deserve it, I can see u getting one - i'm guessing you'll be going for the bigger brother the ATX Belt Squat Machine - double the weight capacity of the compact. 300kg vs 600kg capacity
