Excellent, very well done. You’re very talented, knowledgeable, articulate and humble, a pleasure to listen too…thank you!
Phenomenal video. I ordered the Titan SSB. Very thorough explanations. Thank you!
One of the most thorough ssb guides out there, thank you.
My gym has the rogue and elitefts bars, the rogue bar just collects dust. It's pretty terrible.
You dont even know how to you this. Its called a safety bar not cus it won't hurt your shoulder its a safety bar as you dont hold on to the bar you hold up rights so you can spot yourself! Your a joke
Quality Saturday morning viewing, thanks dude!
To me, Hatfields actually felt like much less fatigue as I ensured to use only one or two fingers as support while allowing me to stay in a less leaned position than a regular squat or SSB squat. Similar concept to a belt squat. I'll add that most people use their hands far too much during belt squats, resulting in the same issue you mentioned.
I would agree with your take here and actually one of the reasons I like the SSB overall. It does add this option when people don't have access to other machines. My thoughts in the video, as you said, were about the most common use I see of people trying to "overload" near maximal weights.
@@BrazosValleyStrength yea that shits hilarious
Personally Hatfield squat is what keeps me squatting. Regular squat is really hard on my back and cause right hip pain due to an imbalance I have somewhere. I kept letting it heal and work on it but nothing seems to work. My but tends to move on the left at the bottom of squat. Idk why. So when I do Hatfield squat it doesn’t happen and just use my arms when needed for balance I squat pain free. It can be more fatigue since I can put a little bit more weight on because I have more stability from the arms, however I can squat with no pain. I tried the pushing up handle squat variation as well. It works and pain free, also I feels the quad a little more, however my shoulders and arm get a little tired while doing so and I get slightly weaker for my push workout the next day.
Just ordered the Rep version, can’t wait. Love your content. I will definitely use some of your affiliate links !
What do you think of it? Do you use it exclusively now?
Titan is an exact replica of the SS Yoke (though likely made with lesser quality materials or something).
What a great breakdown! Thank you
GoldEspecially the tip for split squat
Great breakdown. My gym just got a ssb and I tried some Hatfield squats yesterday and my legs and hips are extremely sore today 😅
Best SSB video out there
I can actually 1rm 22lb more with a SSB than my regular high bar back squat, which I find strange as most accounts seem to suggest that a SSB should be more difficult. I dont do anything specific with the handles, pulling up or down etc, and my regular front squat is about 60lb lower than my back squat. not sure whats going on with that.
Maybe you are really quad dominant lifter and need more posterior chain work.
General consensus I saw when I was looking into SSBs was: "if you can afford it buy EliteFTS, if not buy Titan." Nobody else is even close.
Great articulated insight
Amazing video! Very curious if you’ve ever researched bailing on a SSB? I don’t plan to need to bail, but I work out alone and you never know. I saw one video showing that bailing forward prevents the handles from scraping your back. Any thoughts?
Some good ideas here!
3:20 I would like to add that the Kabuki Transformer Bar handles are way too fucking long and unless you have a stance as wide as David Woolson's the handles will hit your legs. I'd rather have an option to remove the handles than have a Goblet Squat setting in my SSB.
The single leg idea is genius.. gonna give that a try
Amazing! I smashed that like button. Keep up the hard work!
Bells of Steel makes a great safety squat bar.
Thanks for great video!
Honestly...i have used both....
Religiously... started with , changed gym,yoke bar..... comfort wise ...i never noticed any discomfort from either bar...and i have done power lift deph squats with well over 600 lbs on both bars....i like the yoke better,i honestly don't know why....they both REALLY kick ass!!
Very helpful, since I have a SSB at home. Can you make another video on how to program SSB squats to advance your main lift?
That is this video. You have to be able to apply concepts to the individual. It won't be exactly the same for everyone.
I know this video is a couple years old, but I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts (or anyone’s, in the comments) on the Rep Fitness SSB
I'm watching from Kalam valley.
I'll have to try out the single leg tips, BSS with my foot on my bench never felt quite right.
In what situations do you think the safety bar squat can benefit the competition squat? - what aspects does the SB adress, or in what situations of the comp squat faults/weaknesses/difficulties is the SB a good choice?
I hope my question makes sense!
I really love your content.
What percentage of the video did you watch before posting this?
@@BrazosValleyStrength everything, and a few times actually. I understand the "fighting" against the bar, but I guess I'm a little confused of in what situations of the comp squat errors this is a good option
I may be a little lost in the weak back/strong legs and vice versa thoughts. I think I'm interested of knowing when the SB is a good choice to adress a specific weakness other than onloading the elbows and wrists
Well I guess the issue here is that both of those questions don’t have easy answers. And this is why you see a lot of different coaching strategies work for people. So the way I might apply these concepts may be different than another coach would. So I’m trying to lay out concepts on how the SSB can be used for people. The specifics need to fit for the individual and are hard to nail down precisely for a wide audience
I got the rogue bar. I honestly don’t hate it. I don’t expect comfort with barbells 🤷♂️
Great video. Anyone have experience with the Spud Inc. straps that attach to a standard bar to replicate an SSB? I've been using it, it's decent. Just wondering if anyone else had opinions and or experience.
Any chance you could make a video on scenarios where it would be appropriate to use a deadlift change card and explain when and why to use one? I've only had to use my cards once time but my coach did everything behind the scenes so I didn't really follow how it worked.
Are you talking about attempt changes at a meet?
@@BrazosValleyStrength yes sir that's exactly it
@@BrazosValleyStrength but more specifically during the deadlift because usually when people battle it out to win
It'll be a while, but I have a lot of lifters competing at a meet in April and I plan to do a full meet day video for things like that then
The SS Yoke is good, but I never seem to feel comfortable with any of the pads. They all feel uncomfortable to me but I wish it didn’t feel that way.
Have you found one more comfortable?
@@BrazosValleyStrength Unfortunately no, i've given up on them for myself. But still love programming them when lifters have a preference !
Comment for algorithm.
Is ssb like a front squat ??
Did you watch the video?
It’s literally the whole point of the video…..
Its a safety bar. What makes it a safety bar???? Cus you dont hold on to the bar that and only that makes it a safety bar lol
🤩 P-R-O-M-O-S-M!
You talk TOO MUCH !!! How about some ACTUAL MOVEMENTS for tutoring.
I know simple boys like you just want simple things. You can find quick fixes other places. But please feel free to come back here when you are ready to learn. I'm sorry this was too much for you, Edward.
@@BrazosValleyStrength ...I also hold 3 different black belts ...little bitch boy.
@@BrazosValleyStrength The way you explained it was amazing. Theres like 10000 other videos with a 10th of the information than this one.
