Spud Dr Squat Strap

The Spud Inc Dr. Squat Strap pays tribute to one of the greatest strength athletes in history—Dr. Fred Hatfield, better known as Dr. Squat. As the first person to squat 1,014 pounds in competition, Hatfield built his legendary strength using innovative training methods, including the exercise that became known as the Hatfield Back Raise (HFBR).

The Hatfield Back Raise quickly became known as one of the most effective posterior chain exercises ever developed. By using a harness system in combination with a Glute Ham Raise machine, athletes could heavily train the erectors, glutes, and hamstrings while maintaining support throughout the movement. The exercise became especially popular among athletes seeking to strengthen their posterior chain without placing excessive stress on the spine.

The Spud Inc Dr. Squat Strap takes that original concept and expands its versatility far beyond the HFBR. Athletes can use the strap for good mornings, Romanian deadlifts, pull-throughs, Zercher-style movements, sled drags, and numerous other strength-building exercises. This flexibility makes it a valuable tool for powerlifters, strongman competitors, athletes, and anyone looking to improve posterior chain strength.

Constructed from Spud Inc's heavy-duty woven nylon, the Dr. Squat Strap is built to withstand years of intense training. Its compact design makes it easy to transport and store, making it equally useful in home gyms, commercial facilities, and competitive training environments.

Strong glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors are critical for success in squatting, deadlifting, sprinting, jumping, and overall athletic performance. The Dr. Squat Strap provides athletes with multiple ways to target these muscle groups while expanding their training options.

Built around the values of Focus, Trust, and Strength, the Spud Inc Dr. Squat Strap helps athletes develop a stronger posterior chain and continue the legacy of one of powerlifting's greatest innovators.
