5 Benefits Of Dip Belt Squats

The dip belt is a great training tool that I started using many years ago when I had a back injury and my back was so bad that I couldn’t do a barbell squat or deadlift.

This type of lifting involved very little spinal compression yet it still gave my legs and hips a great workout.

From here I found this to be a useful tool and I still use it in my own training and with athletes.

5 Benefits Of Dip Belt Squats:

Very joint friendly. Great for people with lower back issues (no spinal compression) or shoulder issues
It is a great recovery assistance exercise. This can be done between squat/deadlift days to improve recovery without taxing the joints or the CNS
Hits the lower body with minimal upper body
Targets the Hips/Quads/Glutes depending on your squat/hinge variation
Simple & easy exercise to do. Low chance of injury.
