Its called hard training. I mean f*cking hard training. Something people don't do a lot of these days.

Good luck is the result of hard work and preparation.

Every time you stay out late...every time you sleep in ....every time you miss a workout...every time you don't give 100%...you make it that much easier for me to beat you.

Here is what I have at home:
No stress at all on lower back!

Thanks for the suggestion SS, I've tried it between benches with a belt for dips and chins and the chains were digging in my inner thighs, I would need to find a special belt like those ^. Doing this exercise has been in the back of my mind for the last 2-3 years, though I find the stance a bit wide, maybe too much hamstrings/glutes for me, for my quads are currently lagging.
We had a Nautilus machine for this 25 years ago, it allowed me to do the heaviest squats I ever made and you are right, no stress on the lower back at all, but I don't see those kind of machine anymore.
Westside has a nice machine for this:

Pretty easy build. I'll try to get up a video later tonight. Leg day baby!

We used to have an improvised belt station with a stack at BJ's gym years back.I would get a pit shark station if I was ever going to equip a gym.
This is exactly what I would want! I'm not sure if I build one, if the gym will allow me to leave it there.Originally Posted by Sean Summers
I'm really interested to see the video!!

I think this is a worthwhile pursuit and it would automatically solve the form problems for so many people. Just be sure to include deads in your program and you're gtg.
I cannot do any form of deads, I've tried a lot and hurt myself so many time even with children weight. Hamstrings are not a problem for me though.

Here is the video....not the greatest angle. I'll get a better video up after next leg day. I'll make sure the boxes are shown better.

Nice! But I was wondering, up to how much weight can you use? It seems pretty limited to a few plates.
