The PPF-HM97 is a plate-loaded belt squat. The load hangs from a hip belt attached to the lever, so the legs and hips work while the shoulders and spine stay free of the bar. It trains the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings and is a popular option for lifters who want to squat heavy with less load on the back.
Design & features
- Red lever with hip/belt pad bracket
- Split diamond-plate platform
- Upright frame with handles for balance
- Weight horns for Olympic plates
- Plate storage horns on the frame
- Black frame with red accents and black upholstery
Ideal for
Commercial gyms, athletic performance centers, university weight rooms and training studios that want a dedicated plate-loaded station for this movement. It also suits well-equipped private gyms with room for a full-size plate-loaded machine.
