    The SSB is by far the best purchase I have made in recent years and I recommend you get one if you haven't already, regardless of training goals (strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilder, crossfitter etc.)

    Glad my SSB yoke is back in rotation for Saturday squats now. Feeling inspired

    I do Yokebar SSB Squats and Front Squats regularly.
    The Yokebar has improved my thoracic extension a lot.
    I gained the mobility for a standard front rack position by leaving the bar in the rack while moving my wrists, elbows, shoulders, etc. It involved a little Meat-Head Yoga in terms of stretching, breathing, bracing. I did that for a couple of weeks before actually lifting the bar. A very loose hook grip helped keep the bar in the hand during all the experimental movement. I think I got this from a Brian Alsruhe video.
    Hatfield Squats look really useful. I already use the rack to stabilize Yokebar calf raises.
    Thanks Sam.

    Pause squats are definitely a great way to warm up for your working sets. What I've done and I noticed that it helped in the squat and keeping my the most upright, is the front ssb squat. Turn the bar the other way and squat while.keeping elbows high. Lots of upper back development and quads.

    I'm not in a position to tell others anything BUT pause at the bottom squats, and ssb squats are both great, surprised no boxes were featured in this video too. Great info as ever Sam

  • @littlefinkle7757
    @littlefinkle7757 3 года назад

    We use pause squats. 5-10 second hold at bottom & 5-10 second hold 3/4 of the way up. Helps tremendously on balance and controlling the weight. Great video! 🇺🇸💪

  • @brianhickey5949
    @brianhickey5949 3 года назад +3

    Excellent! I had completely forgotten the Hatfield squat (he was a madman!) and so I see some in my future! Also - I like torture and so, the 1 1/4 squat could be just the thing :) I wonder if I can throw some in to the program - I am coming out of offseason next week.

  • @brandonhoagland1989
    @brandonhoagland1989 3 года назад

    my favorite variation is the camber bar squat, pitches you forward more, in my opinion puts more pressure on the quads.

  • @ImaWreckU
    @ImaWreckU 3 года назад +2

    Hatfields are great but have you ever tried Hetfields? It's similar, but on the way up you have to yell "GIMME FOO GIMME FIAH GIMME DATWICHIDEZIAH"

    SSB low box squats are the king imo. Less absolute load and hits all the general weakpoints that everyone has

      We mentioned those in our last video going over deadlift variations.

  • @yashhgami
    @yashhgami 3 года назад +1

    Bit late to this, but for me the front squat or sumo squat are the best complements to what I do. Haven't even heard of/seen a couple of these variations 💪

    What’s your thoughts on combining 1and 2 by pausing at the half point

    • @Xplora213
      @Xplora213 3 года назад +1

      Yes, totally fine. You could pause at the halfway point 4 or 5 times if you wanted. But it’s really hard work and you might be better off with a tempo squat or leg press or Hatfield squat if you need that kind of volume. At some point you are just spending a long time with your legs bent with heavy weight so your mind might quit before the legs. No one likes 20 rep squat sets 😉

  • @dolphinmom7
    @dolphinmom7 3 года назад +1

    I do some of these variations, but struggle with what weight and rep range I should be using

    • @eliteftsofficial
      @eliteftsofficial  3 года назад +2

      If your goal is strength then a good rule of thumb is you would want to put these as a secondary lift after your main work, maybe in sets of 4-8 depending on the movement

    • @Xplora213
      @Xplora213 3 года назад +2

      Check out some of the old podcast videos where Dave explained how to set up a conjugate program. He discussed how to rotate exercises and these variations are definitely part of that.
