My gym just got one. And I squated for the first time in 23 year, because of knee problems and I rep'd 200 lbs my first day. I'm super excited about this. This bar is the bomb

It’s the only thing I use for back squats (bad shoulder from birth not lifting) and since I don’t compete it doesn’t really matter to me if it transfers to the “regular squat”. It allows me to lift heavy with no pain and let’s me concentrate on building my quads without the risk to my bad shoulder. I actually had a guy build me a front squat bar too so I can do front squats pain free as well.

As a beginner I was always super afraid to attempt the barbell squat BUT after starting with the SSB it has been a game changer!! I feel much more confident in the movement and am able to go deeper in my squat without feeling unstable. I also can lift heavier and there is no discomfort in my shoulders.

I took a pre-workout shot every time you said bahhbell...wow I didn't know heaven had internet!

Great video Scott. The question of ditching the traditional barbell for squats really depends on your individual goals. For powerlifting, obviously you hav to use a regular bar at meets. However, the SSB is a great variation or accessory movement to train, especially when you’re feeling beat up. Many powerlifters will use the SSB up until 2-3 weeks prior to a meet, and find they have made gains in the regular squat and deadlift because of the benefits you’ve mentioned. For those that are competing in strongman, the SSB can and should replace the normal bar as the movement more closely mimics several strongman lifts, with the weight being in front you. I’ve been using the SSB in my home gym for two years now, and at age 53 and three shoulder surgeries, this thing is amazing! Never tried the Gronk version, but I’ve used both the Titan SSB v2 and the SS Yoke from Elite FTS.

scott's neck veins make me nervous.

I love this bar! So versatile. After a couple sets of normal squats with this thing I do a couple sets of Hatfield squats (those rock!). This bar, the Duffalo bar and hex bar are easily my favorite bars ever.

*BAH-BELL* 😤

Used this safety bahhh bell tonight at a gym. 1st time squatting ever. I was most impressed with the aforementioned bahhh bell!!!

I wish I'd taken this advice years ago and used a safety bar to squat. I injured my lower back during a squat (lower portion of the movement)and it's never been right since. If you are tall like me then it's even more important. I've been doing a goblet squat for a while and it feels much more safe and upright. I would like to try one of these bars to see how it feels.

Great last minute decision to include the beginning part :D

Anabolic Aliens. Hi friends! Thank you for your channel. I am traveling to beijing in a few days and taking all your home workouts with me. Keep on inspiring people as you always do.

OMG! Hilarious disclaimer! I used to squat exclusively low-bar style. After years of this, I felt my shoulders were becoming my weak link and the limiting factor for adding weight to the bar. The SS bar completely eliminated my shoulder pain from squatting. I only squat with the SS bar now and I have almost forgotten that I used to have that nagging shoulder pain. Another great video. Thanks!

Hey Scott i already use this bar for squatting and cant recomend it enough. Ive had 2 back injuries in past 15 yrs, one from heavy deadlifts and one from an accident outside gym and thought my squatting days were over as well as deadlifts. I can now squat painfree. awesome Also I learned i can deadlift again using a trap/shrug bar, which is also awesome. MY CONCERN HERE IS; you are not demonstrating very good squat form even with the safety aspect of this bar. Noone especially not a trainer should ever descend into a squat, especially a deep one in 1 second. That is uncontrolled and asking for trouble as you will also be bouncing out of the bottom position not using brute horse power to lift. Its much safer and doing more actual work and using more power and energy to lower the weight under complete control, hit bottom, pause , then power out of the hole!

Great video, Scott, Might as well discuss using the trap bar for dead-lifts since it's becoming a LOT more popular with NBA, NFL and other professional athletes. Of course, the "purists" like Rippetoe will never endorse using a trap bar but like anything new it takes time to convince people that it "may" have some benefit (even if that benefit is only keeping newer lifters safer!)

I really like goblet squats, and this reminds me of them. I'm going to start doing these to get around the issues with the goblet squat (such as limit on how much you can hold in front of you in that goblet position comfortably).

IMHO the only reason to be using a straight bar for DL or squatting is you're a competitive PL or WL. If one is PL for fitness...I'd just stick to using a "trap bar" for DL (..fireman's carry..etc.) and a "safety squat bar" for back squats. Less chance for injury and workout pretty much the same muscle groups.

I never noticed the way you said barbell. People have accents so who cares, I came here for your videos...OK OK, I stayed for the baahbell!

You could see right away that your butt wasn't tucking under at the bottom of your squat using the safety bahh. Thanks for sharing this, Scott. I didn't even know such a thing existed. I'll definitely be investing in one of these.

The Straight Truth CROOKED BAR (SSB) vs STRAIGHT BAR: 1. The Straight Bar DEMANDs dedication 2. There are no easy days with it. These are also the reasons why it IS the ONLY bar used in Competitions for Olympic & Powerlifting.

I tried it today it was awesome, all the tension was on muscles worked , little strain on joints . Very good exercise.

I love it when he says baahbell!😊

Great video Scott. I had shoulder replacement surgery almost 4 years ago. And my 'Squats' have been limited to Bulgarian & Split Squats. This was the bar my trainer had so I could do squats again. I checked out Gronk Fitness & I'm going to ask the manager if I can buy one for the gym. I live in an a apartment. So no space for a home gym.

hahahah that intro though😂 HERO!

I did traditional barbell back squats 3x per week consistently for 10+ years. I never had any issues with my knees, lower back, hips, or mobility. But what did me in eventually was bicep tendonitis. The pain got so bad I couldn't even lift my arm. We're talking blinding, searing, vomit inducing pain. Even then I still wanted to tough it out. But it got so bad I couldn't do any other lifting. So the SSB wound up being a god send. It's the only bar I squat with now. When I have tried to return to traditional back squats, the tendonitis flares up every 4-6 weeks.

great video Scott, very informative. The safety squat bar is very awkward for the first few reps, but you can definitely feel the burn in your quads and glutes. I've only used it twice but am considering getting one for home

zerchers and SSB... the future for those of the glass back...! Good informative video on the SSB Scott. This is currently on my list for the home rig. As a stop gap, I currently do Zercher squats and find that they've taken a lot of strain from my low back. Zerchers are an excellent movement, I was converted to them after my 1st session. So much carry over to other exercises..

The baaabell baaa is betta!

Well done Scott, best investment I've made to date. Will never straight bar squat again

Damn where was this bar before? I'm buying 2 of these.

Regular Yoga helps with injuries. Yoga is crucial if you lift weights

Scott, here's an interesting problem I've been having. I've been doing barbell and safety bar squats (front and back) for quite awhile and use about 150 lbs. and also leg extensions/curls, too. Yet, I've noticed when I go up the stairs that it is still an effort (I'm 74). It's as if squats don't help in the real world. I have the same weakness when trying to run up hills. And I do hip thrusters for the glutes, too. They are weak. The other day, I tried doing single leg squats with just bodyweight. I need more explosive, springy power for the shotput and discus events and slow squats weren't helping. Man, my legs were shot for a couple days. I also got a better pump in my legs than from the other leg work. I warmed up with two legged squats and gradually moved over to doing partial one legged squats (half squats) and making them into jumping squats. Someday I'll do full squats but for now half squats are good enough for the shot and discus. It's amazing how doing an isolation exercise like single leg squats can affect a limb so differently than the normal two legged squat. I guess it's the same as the difference between barbell curls and dumbbell curls. The barbell equalizes the stress between the two limbs and makes them work in unison. The isolation single limb exercise brings forth all the weaknesses that that limb may have and was being compensated for with the barbell exercise. As my legs get used to the single leg squats, I'll use my (up to) 60 lbs weight vest that I got from Dick's Sporting Goods to increase the resistance. If I get any stronger than that, I'll have to use my hex bar or try the safety bar. Hope this info helps someone.

+Fogo it 100% is. No external shoulder rotation.

It's really a preference thing. Someone people use it, others don't. If they want to change up a bit, they switch back and forth. If there is no downside to the safety barbell and it offers the same benefits than your traditional barbell, then go for it. I will do this on my leg day. One day i will use barbell and next leg day i will use safety barbell, and so on. Who cares what others think. It's about YOUR legs. If safety gets you powerful legs, then so be it.

I got shoulder problems, will definitely try this.

Damn, even my local powerlifting/strongman gym doesn't have one of these. Have to look around for my own one I think.

Hi Scott , I am deciding between safety bar squats, landmine squats, or box squats to replace my regular squats.. I cannot do regular bar squats properly.. what would you recommend.

I struggle so bad with squats and can't hardly do a front squat even after months of mobility training and proper warm ups. Totally would give this a try

Just an idea from a mechanics perspective With the safety squat bar the weights can be positioned closer to the body making the length of the bar substantially smaller and thus avoid rotation and imbalance towards the sides What do you think?

First, I'm guessing that you're NOT from Alabama. Second, for such a young man you are extremely knowledgeable. Everything you say has been shown to be true by my experience. I'm 74 years old and have a lot of difficulty going to a low position on my squats with a straight bar. Sometimes, when warmed up a lot, I can do it but I can still feel it in my lower back. But, with my cheapie Safety Squat bar, I can hit rock bottom with no stress on anything except my quads. Plus, I get to use my hands to hold onto the power rack for balance and to give a "little" pull to get me up when needed. I notice your Safety Squat bar has a BIG gap between the two little bars. Another video complains about that and how women can't use it. On my cheapie bar which I can't find the name but I bought it through Amazon, the distance between the two little bars is 12" - 13" center to center. Between the padding is about 9". So, it fits around my head and neck snugly and doesn't feel like it is going to slip off my shoulders.

hi, what is the name of the bar, from where did u buy it?

@STBRetired1

6 жыл бұрын

I bought it through Amazon for $ 314.95 back in Feb, 2017. It is an Ader Safety Squat Olympic Bar and is rated at 1500 lbs. It is sold by Fitness Outlet through Amazon. Now that I look at my order, maybe my bar wasn't such a "cheapie" bar after all. I just did a Google search for safety squat bars and I see Walmart has a Titan version for $ 159 and other dealers have prices going all the way up to $ 400. I guess my bar is about in the middle. Just check the dimensions for the bar you're interested in and make sure it will fit you well.

I don't usually see a low bar barbell held quite as low as demonstrated here. it looked as if it was about to fall off. the difference between a high and low bar is an inch or two. also I don't know if it was the intention but this video seems to suggest the low bar is more dangerous but that's flat out untrue. it's a really great way to train the entire posterior chain and the suggestion that the trainers core will give out doesn't make sense. just as the quads will strengthen with high bar training, so will the core with low bar.

Nice video. Thanks for the insight Scott 😎💪🏻👍🏻

Seems like it would place more pressure on your spine and discs than a conventional squat? Because the core doesn't look as tight/rigid and you don't have the hands pushing the bar up, the weight is completely rested on the base of the neck? Gives me shivers thinking about the potential disc bulges/herniation potential.

I feel like when u engage the movement in ur hips first and stick ur ass out as far as possible ur stretch ur hamstrings as much as possible. Also I can lift more that way and it doesn't hurt my knees

Great video! I love the way this guy says barbell!

I've always trained with straight bar to hit as many muscles as possible. Should I still switch to safety bar?

so if i have good form then the safety bar is pointless?

Actually the depth of your deadlift should be determined by the ability of your hamstring to lengthen when going forward without rounding your lower back. That is an individual issue. Many people do not have flexible enough hamstrings to go further down than a couple inches below the kneecap without rounding the lower back. If that is the limit of their range of motion using good form, then they should not attempt to go beyond that range without increasing their hamstring flexibility.
