Description
The new Belt Squat attachment for the IM2000 is here!
Introducing the newest addition to our elite IM2000 multi-purpose machine: the belt squat attachment, meticulously crafted for the discerning athlete who demands both safety and performance. The Belt Squat moves the weight load from your spine to your hips, providing critical protection so you can safely reach your training goals. This attachment is not just a piece of equipment; it's a revolution in strength training, offering a spine-protecting, muscle-targeting workout that brings your home gym into the future.
Easy Assembly: Designed with your convenience in mind, this attachment integrates seamlessly with your IM2000, ensuring a straightforward setup that gets you lifting in no time. We know your time is valuable, which is why we've engineered this piece to complement your workout routine without the hassle. You simply leave on the spine bracket after assembly and just connect the lever arm to squat.
Unmatched Capacity: Ready to handle the most rigorous of workouts, our belt squat attachment boasts an impressive 600 lb weight capacity on the lifting bar. Whether you're starting your fitness journey, an intermediate enthusiast or an advanced weightlifter, this attachment is built to accommodate your ambition, supporting your progression as you push the limits of strength training.
Starts in the Upper Position: Convenience and functionality are at the heart of our design. This attachment starts in the upper position, allowing for an easier and natural beginning to your squat routine. It's all about maximizing your workout efficiency and safety, ensuring that you can focus on form and performance from the first rep to the last.
Safety Features: Our commitment to your safety is paramount. The belt squat attachment is intentionally designs to take advantage of the IM2000's renowned smith machine safety features, including safety stops and a locking bar. Utilize the lifting bar for added balance and to (dis)engage the weight, ensuring a secure, controlled workout environment that allows you to train with confidence. The more direct connection allows safer use of heavier loads than cable based belt squat systems.
High Belt Squat to Weight Loading Efficiency: Experience efficiency in every lift with a high 70% of weight utilized in your workout. This optimized design ensures that a greater percentage of the weight you load is used effectively, focusing the intensity on your quads and glutes for maximum impact.
This load percentage is an average sampled across various points in the range of motion and from each of the height options; changes in height and distance to the connection of the belt squat will effect this efficiency. Chart below includes the weight of the bar plus plates combined.
| LIFTING BAR WEIGHT (LBS) | BELT SQUAT WEIGHT (LBS) |
| 100 | 70 |
| 200 | 140 |
| 300 | 210 |
| 600 | 420 |

This different form of leg workout has been a new experience. I'm still getting used to this, but definitely better than squats and the pain in the neck. Quality of product is excellent as expected.

I took a chance on this as I wanted to see if this add on would allow me to retire my standalone belt squat so I could make more room in the gym. The incredible thing is that this is actually better than the dedicated machine mentioned. The weight resistance is so smooth thanks to the IM2000s bearing system and the way that the bar moves with you is perfect for holding on OR you can easily hold the uprights. The depth and range of motion achievable on this is excellent too. Within minutes of installing I disassembled the standalone machine and will plan on selling it. Great job Ironmaster.
Note From Store Owner: Awesome to hear. Thank you so much for the feedback!

Purchased this because when doing squats on the IM2000 the bar would sometimes slide up my traps onto my neck especially when going deep. This eliminated that problem and I can feel my muscles getting more of a workout due to the isolation it causes. Job well done, this is why I promote IM equipment and company, great products, services and people!

Traditional squats were wrecking my spine. Belt squats are a game changer. Load is now on the legs instead of the back. Much safer and allows me to push harder. Best attachment ever and rock solid like all IM equipment.

I've never used a belt squat before, but have wanted to try one. For the small amount of money the attachment costs vs the cost of a dedicated belt squat I thought it was fairly risk free to try it. I was very surprised how good the movement feels, i feel them much higher up on my quads than any other exercise. It is a fantastic exercise with zero spine load. I also purchased the IM belt for the belt squat and it's very comfortable. I'm going to try to do donkey raises on it next leg workout. From a bodybuilding standpoint the Ironmaster eco-system is the best space saving value out there for a home gym. This attachment takes about little to no space and makes this almost a completely different machine.

It works surprisingly well for how simple it is. Holding onto the bar is a bit awkward because of the knees when going deep, but its not much of an inconvenience. Well done.

This has to be the most innovative attachment Ironmaster has come out with for the IM2000. Once you figure out which attachment point on the belt and which hole to put it in on the spine the travel path is perfect. Starting in the top position and having the bar travel with you when you hang on is better than anything on the market. I've had my IM2000 since 2015, and this is the first time I've been compelled to write a review, it's that good. Donkey calf raises are also perfect with this. It's worth getting an IM2000 just for this attachment. Thanks ironmaster.

I’ve been waiting for Ironmaster to add a belt squat attachment to the Ironmaster 2000– I even wrote to them about it. They’ve knocked it out of the park! It’s great. I love how you can stabilize yourself using the smith bar. It’s also easy setting up and taking the squat belt on and off. Ironmaster, thank you for adding another way to work legs!

I had been on the fence about building a DIY belt squat to utilize with the IM 2000 pulley system but the Ironmaster gods were listening. Them clever sumbitches designed an arm to attach to the bar. The installation was too easy. I like the fact that the bar is there to hold onto for extra stability doing the belt squats. It’s a solid smooth movement and the price point compared to other setups allows me to feel I got away with robbery.
