I’m not very handy, but I saw a block system belt squat on Design Build Lift’s channel. It reminded me of what the Russians and Louie Simmons did before the machine was even built. I was able to make it without too much difficulty, and I used it for over a year before I bought the SquatMax MD. I will still use it now and then; the blocks can be used for a ton of stuff. The stack took up almost no space, was very easy to set up, and if you have a rack, you can grab the uprights instead of the dolly. Home Gym Hacks and Reviews does something similar with his belt-squat setup.
