Q & A for The 16% – Belt Squat – Strategies for Pelvic Orientation

March 16, 2020 By Bill Leave a Comment

Question: Could you go over the benefits of the belt squat. It seems to me the belt squat would have the best application to train the squat pattern best for those who are a wide, compressed A/P with an anterior orientation of the pelvis. If performed upright would the nature of the load weighted at the pelvis help promote counter nutation and expansion?

In this video: I explain two possible ways to execute the belt squat. One that enhances strength for powerlifting and another that enhances your ability to reduce nutation to promote counternutation and improve hip mobility. There is no right or no wrong. Just better decisions and better ways to execute the belt squat to meet your needs.
