Belt squat machine

[C123C]

Same here...my RH is a must have! Keeps my back in check, and while it only does one exercise movement well and occupies a big chunk of my garage, I'll likely give up the space trade off for still being able to train.

Turning into a RH appreciation thread. I was in constant pain and didn't realize it. Took me nearly a year to get used to NOT having tightness and pain. It does only one thing that nothing else can do and that one thing is invaluable to me.

For what it's worth I leave it tilted up and use the strap exclusively these days. I'll mess with the foot attachment at some point. Mech added another joint to finally make it functional.

I know that some people want to have nothing to do with a RH. It's a godsend for my back, with the traction I receive from it. Like most of us that love them, they take up a lot of room in the gym, but well worth it to me

I remember seeing that joint you had added and thought that was ingenious...I'd love to add something like that to mine!

You can email Mech likely for the plans or I can take some measurements. Really simple. Just 4 plates, some holes for adjustment, with the rogue hardware connected into them.

PM me if I can help.

Yes please!

Yes please!

PM sent with my contact into and some additional thoughts on design/usage.

Bumping this old thread. C123C, I’m picking up a rh next week, actually two (power lift and edge). I was wondering if you could share the specs of the mods you made to your standard

Shoot, Mech6 came up with the plans and fabbed it for me. He may still have them or MGM711 might as he also had them from this thread.

Basically just adds a hinge component so the foot plate can float properly...as supposed to by original design.

Those aren't "real" RHs, so I'm not sure it applies

Here are the drawings. I think I still have a set of SS ones, but they were made for my RH, so some holes might be off. You need 2 of each. May require a photo to make sense, I don't have one.

Thanks Mech6! Kinda makes sense off the pictures. C123C, if you have any picture of yours can you share?

Thanks! To you guys and girls who have the monolifts with the rollers, what are the advantages over straps

Assuming you mean reverse hypers and not monos, no advantage just quite different in emphasis. Strap is the standard. Emphasis is different with the roller as is the ability to do a leg curl like variant. If I had to pick one, I'd go strap all day. That said, having both is nice and I already owned the roller.

My bad, good catch with the mono. Sure I’ll end up with both

I have the rhino in home gym and I think its great. Im not a fan of the wenning or pit shark style at all. an inferior design imo. I dont know the dimensions and while its super beefy and built like a tank its actually quite compact.

if youre expecting the same fit and finish with Edge as youd get from Rogue or Sorinex for same general price point you will be very disaapointed.

Im thinking about making a platform with a handle to do them with my belt and loading pin. Right now I put two boxes on the side of my power rack and use the safety bar as a handle. The only problem is stepping up on the boxes.

I’m thinking of a pivoting handle like the leverage style units. Being able to lift the loading pin and weights off the platform and walking back slightly to a point where there is a cutout on the platform allowing me to squat down. Kinda like walking out a squat and moving the handle arm back. Hope this makes sense.

Only problem with this is that your stance would be limited to the width of your plates and wider. Cheaper then the other options though

skrebs, can you use a landmine and bar, have the loaded bar on a jack stand slightly to the side and use your boxes. Lift off the stand, squat and return to the stand.
