The French Fitness P/L Belt Squat Training Platform Plate Loaded is a great way to increase lower body mass and strength without putting too much strain on the upper body. It permits you to perform a high volume of squat work safely and pain-free even if you have an upper-body injury that prevents you from holding a bar on your back. The load is tied to the lifter by a belt, which helps athletes with shoulder injuries or those who want to protect their shoulders and arms during exercise. The adjustable side rails allow you to lift up from the lowest position, allowing you to safely do eccentric exercises. The broad deck plate provides versatility as well as ample platform space for stability and safety during the exercise. Replace the belt with different attachments, such as a handle or a straight bar for pull-throughs, shrugs, or tricep extensions.
