How to Use a Safety Squat Bar with Steve Slater

[grave]

I wasn’t able to back squat for years due to shoulder pain from MMA related injuries, no matter how light I went. These safety bars allow me to go heavy as I want with zero pain, absolutely love them.

This is a great invention. I'm 50 years old now and have always had trouble getting under the bar for squats. This makes it much more comfortable yet still allows me to do this very important exercise for overall strength!

I love this bar. I feel like my back and posture are much more upright. Thanks for the video.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I saw one of those in the gym, and had no idea how to use it. Thanks for the informative video.

So useful! I was driving down, which bothered my neck and pushed me forward. Thanks for making this video!

[lgonzalez]

Just got me one and I love it. I havent been this excited about squats in a long time.

I always have trouble finding the right angle for the handles, not quite sure how I should hold them. This was helpful for that.

Great tutorial. I have upper kyohosis which curves my back forward. These bars are a god send. Thx for the tips.😊

[mccauley]

Love that bar. I have really enjoyed some great gains being able to do heavier weights with it

Thank you so much for showing us how to use this bar.

I found other how-to videos on youtube, but like with everything else in 2023 I think the dude probably thought he was an actor or something, whoring for those likes and subscribes. This however was simple and on point. Thanks!

Its actually less stress on your lower back also.

It looks like it forces you into a high bar squat posture.

I am 54 years old and I have a super crappy time getting under the squat bar and I truly miss squatting with free weights. I currently use the Smith Machine because its damn near impossible for me to get my hands under the bar for squatting. I really miss squatting with the bar. Whats crazy is I am actually stronger with the free weight bar than the smith.

I love it .. alt Between the Zercher squats and this every week. I think this piece of equipment is severely underrated by the average person . I heard a few guys at my gym who see me do it said it looks too hard..Bar sits too high makes them unstable ...I jest blink and asked why.. never get a answer..

[johannaw]

Do you have any advice how to drop this bar in the least dangerous way? Behind my back or over my head? I might want to go to fail...

I’m going to try this. I can’t squat heavy cause I get pain in my shoulder blade. I tried traditional squats and low bar squats and the pain is always restricting me. I can do every other exercise with not problem while lifting heavy.

Nice, I'm wearing the same shirt. Guess I should buy an SSB now

[germanfreighttrain]

I met you at the world's strongest man 2022 Thanks for being so nice 👍 👍

May have to give this a try, my shoulder mobility is terrible, which makes it difficult for me to rotate back and hold the bar, which throws my stance forward during squat

I love this bar and haven't used it yet
