Overview
The freestanding version of the Rogue Monster Rhino Belt Squat requires no separate rack/rig for set-up, as the system includes a pair of 53.925” steel legs for mounting and two angled 3×3” front feet for platform stability. This compact unit can be set up in garage gyms, low-ceiling home gyms, or full-scale facilities, offering athletes the ability to get many of the lower body training benefits of squats and other workouts without putting unnecessary stress on the shoulders or lower back.
Manufactured in Columbus, Ohio, the stand-alone Monster Rhino Belt Squat comes with 3×3” arms and crossmembers, a 3×6” weight trolley tower, and a 0.25″ braided cable for raising/lowering the weight trolley. When not in use, the trolley is stored on a 1″ thick UHMW plastic hook, or “Rhino Horn.” A diamond-tread plate platform provides steady footing, adjustable handles offer overhand and neutral grip options, and our exclusive Rogue Multi Belt (included standard) easily accommodates most waist sizes, with adjustments from 41” to 61”. The entire Rhino unit (aside from the platform, handles and weight posts) is finished in our Medium Gloss Black powdercoat.
Using the Rhino Belt Squat: Step onto the platform and strap on the Rogue Multi Belt around your hips. Upon standing up, the trolley will rise and disengage from the Rhino Horn. This allows users to then pull back on the handles and start squatting. Once the handles are pulled back, they will stay back until the user pushes the handles back towards the tower, allowing the horn to safely re-engage the trolley.
Benefits of Belt Squats: Performing belt squats rather than traditional back squats / front squats / Zercher squats can be beneficial for a wide range of reasons. Athletes dealing with regular back pain or struggling with spinal compression from axial loading can circumvent those issues by putting the lion’s share of the load on the hips and legs. Similarly, anyone rehabbing from an upper body injury (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, etc.) can still get in their lower body work without having to worry about supporting a barbell.
Belt Squats provide traction to the spine, help add substantial volume to the legs, and offer versatility for other types of training, from calf raises to rows, shrugs, and deadlifts—all easily performed even in a home gym with limited space. A pair of welded-on Band Pegs are included with the system for additional resistance work.
Highlights
LOADABLE WEIGHT TROLLEY
The weight trolley design features two stainless steel, horizontal weight posts with 15.75″ of loading capacity on each side. A set of (4) machined Acetal rollers, each containing (2) bearings, ensure the trolley moves smoothly up and down the rail. Laser-cut Rogue branding is featured on each side, and the tower includes a Rhino sticker on each side, as well.
SQUAT PLATFORM
The platform of the Monster Rhino Belt Squat is made from 0.125″ thick diamond tread plate and is finished in our Signature Texture Black powdercoat to provide advanced durability and a non-slip surface. The tread plate sits on top of a 1″ x 3″ steel frame and attaches to 3×3″ front feet for additional stability and rigidity. The platform dimensions are 26″ deep x 48.5″ wide. When the unit is installed, the top of the platform sits 7″ above the ground.
RHINO HORN
This is a 1″ thick UHMW plastic horn, sandwiched between steel plates, that holds the trolley when not in use. The Rhino Horn is adjustable up and down so that the “racked” or resting height of the trolley can be accommodated to specific users heights.
ADJUSTABLE HANDLES
The handles on the Rhino are 1.25″ in diameter and can be adjusted up or down for the user’s comfort. They allow for both overhand and neutral grip positions. The inside of the channel on the handles features a protective UHMW plastic cover.
