SquatMax-MD Reviews

4.8 Rating 36 Reviews

SquatMax-MD by Titan Fitness is a cutting-edge belt squat machine that offers an optimal free-weight squatting experience. Unlike other anchored pulley systems, the SquatMax-MD provides a vertical line of force, keeping the weight load centered under the hips. This ensures an optimal and authentic squatting motion, effectively targeting the entire lower body musculature. With proven scientific research backing its benefits, SquatMax-MD is the perfect solution for those seeking an exceptional belt squat experience.
Vertical Line of DriveThe machine's patented design centers the weight load beneath the lifter's hips, creating a direct vertical line of drive. This ensures effective muscle engagement for lower body strength. Unlike other belt squat systems, the SquatMax-MD lets lifters engage their core while maintaining proper alignment. This builds lower body power without stressing the shoulders, spine, and lower back, enhancing core strength and stability.
Reduced Risk Of InjuryThe Vertical Line of Drive alignment reduces spinal shearing forces and the risk of lumbar disc herniation, maintaining a neutral pelvic and lumbar position. In barbell squats, the spine supports both the barbell's weight on the trapezius muscles and the body's weight, compressing intervertebral discs. The SquatMax-MD diverts the load from the spine, reduces spinal pressure and is an excellent option for lower body training.High Quality ConstructionCrafted with precision from high-quality materials, the SquatMax-MD features a robust 11-gauge steel frame, 48mm weight sleeves, and 32mm knurled handles. The SquatMax-MD design accommodates weights up to 1,000 lb on the nylon belt and 1,300 lb on the loading pin, while the polyurethane vinyl cushioned seat enhances comfort and versatility, making it an ideal choice for impactful lower-body strength training.

“It has only been two weeks that we implemented this piece of equipment into our Departmental gym, and I am waiting for additional feedback. For those that have used it, including myself, are very pleased with it's performance and quality. Those that have used it thus far have been in the physical fitness arena, gyms, and sports our entire lives. The Squat Max-MD allows you to focus on the targeted muscles without the spine compression and additional issues caused with knees, hips, shoulders and elbows from doing traditional squats. I highly reccomend this piece of equipment. You will not be dissappointed. I am looking forward for Titan in developing the Hip Thruster, Transition Pins (Brian Henesey) , and Rowing attachments that I believe were developed by Brian Henesey. Those attachments are compatable with Brian Henesey's Squat Max but not compatable with Titan's Squat Max -MD, except for the Transition Pins.”

“Its amazing to be able to squat without any stress on my spine. Im able to squat 3 times a week thanks to this machine. This also provides for a lot of scope to experiment with different stances to minimize stress on knees. The mechanics are very similar to a barbell squat - actually a bit better than the barbell squat. Excellent kit for developing lower body strength and athleticism. If you plan to use the narrow stance attachment then you will need a bunch of 25lb steel plates. It is actually large enough to technically be able to accommodate 35lb steel plates but there is always a chance that the 35s will hit the side with any lateral inbalance. So buy a stack of 25lb steel plates to get the best out of this amazing machine.”

“This is a great machine, love it. Strongly recommend purchasing it. Within hours of purchasing the machine, I received a 10% coupon off purchase. Since this is a sizeable investment, I called customer service and asked that they honor the coupon since it had not been shipped yet and I had just made the purchase. I have also made several other large purchases from Titan in the past few months at full price. Titan declined honoring the coupon, stating it had to be on a new purchase. From a customer service angle, you would think they would want to honor the coupon in order to promote customer good will. Apparently, not so much.”

“I had thought about getting this piece of equipment for quite a while. When Titan put it on sale, I finally pulled the trigger. The item was delivered in just a few days. Packaging was impressive. Everything was wrapped and came in a wooden case on an attached pallet. Assembly was quick and easy. I didn’t need help although I would recommend a 19mm socket with an extension. It just saves time and some knuckle skin. The first use was interesting. The action on this is super smooth. I know there is a pvc hack on YouTube to make the pin travel quieter but the way this thing is built, I don’t think it is needed. Loading the pin is quick and easy. Overall I really love this machine. I am looking forward to additional accessories from Titan. 5 stars.”

“The SquatMax-MD is built like a tank! The concept is so simple, that is what makes it so great. At 64, I have decided to quit performing barbell squats. Therefore, I needed something that would hit the quads and glutes like squats and boy do they. Plus, there is no strain on my upper back, traps, and shoulders. You can simply just concentrate on the movement and can go deeper! Love the seat also, you can adjust to the depth you wish to go. What a pump! Even my beautiful 70-year-old wife is using the machine. This will always be a staple in my gym. Cannot wait for Titan to release the attachments.”
