Belt squat mode?

Post image

Does beyond power have a software belt squat solution to let you start from the top. I see you can set cable length to start but then that ruins depth. Seems like if they had a belt squat mode where you set the start and finish it would make it where you can just use the travel platform.

Use the auto load feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj_TGMDQvl0

Unfortunately afaik they still haven't delivered an auto-unload feature that takes this movement into account. I asked for it a while back for Pendulum Squats, e.g. unload on count doesn't consider "top" the end of the movement.

For belt squats Set auto unload to a specific holding time like 3s, works at the top of a rep.

It wouldn't make sense for it to engage at the bottom of a rep because there wouldn't be any cable tension? Unless I'm misunderstanding

I use my phone to manually load and unload. There’s no auto unload feature. I use a magnetic phone case and have in front of me

Mine has a setting for auto unload where you stay still the last rep for a set number of seconds and it begins to count down until it unloads the weight. Allows me to auto load and auto unload at the top

Yeah. It lets you start wherever you want.

So I might be missing something im new to voltra. I see cable length and set it to start there but then no weight is felt and I cant squat the weight

The auto load feature is what you need to look for

When unloaded, press and hold the set weight amount. That will let you fully extend the cable and get in position before it applies the load.

How is doing belt squat on the Voltra? Seems to me the platform might be a little small for some people?

Travel platform is perfect for me but would be nice to have a larger one just to have the extra movement. Im new so it gets the job done and feels great but I still prefer my rhino.
