A squat variation performed with load hanging from a hip belt rather than resting on the shoulders, completely eliminating spinal compression while allowing heavy lower-body training.
Form tips
Stand on the machine's elevated platform with the weight hanging freely below you.
The hip-level loading allows a more upright torso than a barbell squat — exploit this to squat deep.
Focus on pushing the floor away rather than thinking of it as a hinge; this is a true squat.
