Squat Harness
Squat Harness is a specialty strength brand founded by personal trainer Jason, originally built to help clients with chronic back pain keep training legs hard while protecting the spine. The core product -- the Squat Harness itself -- is a shoulder-mounted loading system that shifts barbell or band load off the lumbar spine and onto the upper body, letting lifters squat heavy without compressing the back. Per the vendor: a smarter lower-body training option for serious lifters using cables, bands, and versatile setups, with a 4.9 / 5 review score across 93+ reviews.
The harness line has two current flagship versions. The Squat Harness V3 (Premium Adjustable) is the fully adjustable trainer, with shoulder straps, chest buckles, and hook straps for connecting to functional trainers, resistance bands, flywheels, or barbells. The Squat Harness V4 is the latest revision -- shoulder-style padding added around the bottom of the harness for rib comfort, simplified buckle layout (chest-only), extended adjustable straps for larger body types, and D-rings on the top and bottom of the harness for reverse-band squats and accessory work. Both ship with a pair of band hook straps and carry a 90-day manufacturer replacement warranty. Per the vendor: works with Ancore systems, cable stacks at any gym, and barbells / hex bars via the Loading Straps accessory.
The accessory line extends the harness platform into a full back-friendly lower-body system. The Ripped Ramp 2.0 is the brand's squat-wedge / calf-block solution -- 21 lb of solid steel, 24 in wide by 17 in deep by 5 in tall, with a 1,000 lb load capacity and added tread tape for grip. Per the vendor: built for classic squats, pendulum squats, calf raises, cable RDLs, and landmine squats. The Core-Saber is a 12-inch knurled aluminum bar with a rotating axis and nylon pulley strap -- engineered for rotational core work, throwing-sport simulation, and athletic-specific training with bands, flywheels, or cable pulleys. The Aluminum Cable & Resistance Band Training Bar serves as a multi-grip bar for cable and band work.
The strap and band ecosystem covers the connection needs: 8-Inch Hook Straps for V3 and V4, Loading Straps (the 10x3 nylon set for connecting free weight to the harness), Barbell & Trap Bar Hook Straps, Resistance Band Loading Straps, Ankle Straps, Aluminum Handles, and the Pairing Strap for cable pulley setups. The band-only sets cover progression on their own: the 41 in Loop Bands 5-Band Resistance Set, the Resistance Band Superset (3-Pair Snap-Proof Kit), and the Ripped Straps and Ripped Wraps wrist/elbow support line. The Customize Your Grind bundle lets lifters configure a kit from the catalog. Tri-Cones round out the accessory line for floor and ramp positioning.
Per the vendor: this is a complete back-friendly lower-body training system designed by a trainer for athletes managing back issues, post-injury return-to-training, and lifters who want to train legs hard without sacrificing the rest of the program.
