Westside Athletic Training Platform

Not merely a great Belt Squat machine, the Athletic Training Platform (ATP) from Westside Barbell is a “universal training machine,” straight from the mind of powerlifting legend Louie Simmons. Adaptable to any athlete’s fitness level and development, the overbuilt ATP can improve every major fitness area, including your upper and lower body, back, stomach, anterior and posterior chains, and even specific skill sets.

The machine works by suspending weight below the hips, while a sophisticated cable system allows for a huge variance in movements, from squats and deadlifts to sport specific lifting, running, throwing, swinging, grappling, etc. The zero-load system helps keep your back and spine safe, with a belt and pulley arrangement that creates traction for the lower back. This enables athletes rehabbing from lower back injuries to perform squats and other movements that might not otherwise be possible with a traditional barbell.

Potential Uses for the Westside ATP include:

• Hip Thrusts, Isometrics, and Good Mornings
• Variable Deadlifts and Olympic Lifts
• Resisted Walking, Jogging, or Sprinting
• Grappling, Pitching, or Throwing
• Boxing and Hand-to-Hand Drills
• Shotput, Discuss, Hammer Drills
• Various Jumping and Step-Up Exercises
• Rowing and Kettlebell Exercises
• Core and Stability Routines
• Standing Traction, General Physical or Rehabilitation Exercises

Each machine is built from heavy-gauge steel and includes a folding weight arm, non-slip platform flooring, adjustable band peg slots, and the unique Smart Handle, Pulley & Cable System.
