I believe spud has a belt squat with comfort in mind, but I find this to be even softer on your hip bones. As a thinner and smaller torso lifter, the space from where I put my belt to my ribs and hip bones is small. Having some more comfort makes a big difference for higher rep sets with more focus on the grind. I do think everyone would like this extra layer of comfort, but if you notice any pain when using a belt squat, then adding this will take away the pain of it digging into you and allow you to focus on the pain of blasting the legs. Ab mat materials are always top quality and this is the same. The zipper makes adding this onto your bels super easy and quick.
