You might have seen Ben Patrick and/or Mr. 1NF1N1TY doing the reverse squat and thought it looked like a killer lower abs/hip flexor exercise…
It is…
But the issue with the reverse squat is finding a cable attachment that is a good fit for this movement…
Most gyms simply won’t have a reverse squat strap and I’m yet to find any great substitutes.
So investing in a reverse squat strap is obvious if you’re planning on doing reverse squats even somewhat regularly.

I’ve put together a list of the 3 best reverse squat straps money can buy and I’m going to explain what I like and don’t like about each of them, so you’ll know exactly which strap to get.
Let’s begin!
TheTibBarGuy has produced a reverse squat strap that’s identical to the one you’ve seen Ben Patrick and Mr. 1NF1N1TY using on YouTube. It’s also significantly cheaper than other options on the market making this one of the best reverse squat straps money can buy!
Best Value Reverse Squat Strap
TBG’s reverse squat strap is really solid quality, made with 1/4″ neoprene padding for extra comfort and a super secure fit around your feet.
Having personally used this strap, I can attest to its quality. I have absolutely zero concerns over its durability and think it’ll last a long time.
Super easy and comfortable to use too!
This strap is currently the most affordable option on the market and honestly I don’t really see a good reason to shop around, as each of these straps are virtually identical and vary only on price.
Recommendation
This is quite simply the only reverse squat strap you need to think about getting!
Pros
- Quality materials, appropriate length, adjustable padded foot strap.
- More affordable than all other reverse squat straps.
Cons
- The quality of the carry bag is very poor and it began to fray almost immediately.

The second most affordable option is the reverse squat strap from Freak Athlete Essentials. The quality is great and it’s the next logical option if you couldn’t get a TBG strap!
Best Reverse Squat Strap – Runner Up
This reverse squat strap was also designed specifically for the reverse squat and includes all of the best features of the other straps.
It’s 18″ in length, comes with a heavy duty D-ring, and has adjustable padded foot straps.
The materials are of a surprisingly high quality…
“I’ve used the strap about 5 times or so and have no complaints at all. It does a great job staying secure on my feet whether barefoot or with shoes.”
Kevin Kendall, FAE Website
Great For Reverse Squats… And Much More!
You can also use these things for face pulls, pullovers, triceps extensions, and a number of other exercises.
Recommendation
Get this strap if for some reason you weren’t able to get one from TBG (which is quite a bit cheaper).
Pros
- Second most affordable reverse squat strap on the market.
- High quality materials and functions perfectly for reverse squats.
Cons
- 50% more expensive than the TBG strap.

Another decent option that checks all the boxes is the Schiek ab strap which is the perfect length and made of quality materials. It is more expensive, however.
The Original Reverse Squat Strap
This is the original ab strap Ben Patrick started using when he popularized the reverse squat.
It’s this design that pretty much all other reverse squat straps were based off.
Unfortunately it’s a little more expensive than the TBG/FAE straps, but it does retail through Amazon which is nice and convenient.
Recommendation
This is a great choice for anyone who’s happy to pay a little extra for the convenience of buying through Amazon.
Pros
- Conveniently retails through Amazon.
Cons
- It’s a bit more expensive than the TBG strap.
Final Verdict?
I’ll make this one real simple for you…
All of these reverse squat straps are virtually identical and are made with the same materials, so it makes sense to select based on price.
Currently, the TBG reverse squat strap is by far the most affordable option at just $20, so I wouldn’t even consider any other options.
I’ve used this strap multiple times in the gym and it is fantastic.
My Reverse Squat Strap Testing & Review Process
I always make it my mission to be as comprehensive as possible with these product reviews so I can be as helpful as possible to my readers.
This involves doing hands on product reviews where possible.
I have personally tested the reverse squat strap from TheTibBarGuy and was very impressed by the quality.
I’ve not yet tested other straps, but from what I understand they’re all extremely similar (if not identical).
Products That Didn’t Make The Cut…
Mr. 1NF1N1TY (AKA Derek Williams) created one of the first reverse squat straps which still sells today, however it’s far too expensive for me to recommend it in this article.
At ~$34.50, it’s almost twice the price of the TBG strap.
It appears to be identical in design to each of the straps discussed in this article, so I’ve not bothered to include it.
Negotiating The Best Customer Discounts For Jump Stronger Readers
Part of my mission to be as helpful as possible is to help you guys get the biggest discounts possible.
Over the last few months I’ve been able to negotiate 10% customer discounts with both TBG and FAE.
As always, remember to use the discount code “A1ATHLETE” at checkout when buying any of these straps to ensure you get the best possible deal!
Continually Updating With New Products & Information
As I gain more experience using each of these straps, I’ll be updating this article so that you know exactly how my feelings towards each product evolve over time.
I’m also constantly on the hunt for new reverse squat straps that can offer value to the marketplace for inclusion in this article.
Feel free to read more about my product testing standards and review process.
