Definitely! 👍
Yes, more hacks
For the Titan SSB V2, per the manual, the thread size of the included handles are M20-2.5 X 25 MM in case anyone is wondering.
Very cool!!! I have the SS3 and had no idea how to use the nunchuck handles!! I don't think I cheat for most of my reps, but near the ends of my sets I sure do. Can't wait to try out those handles tomorrow!!
Man Adam, I saw this when I had the Bells of Steel SS3 which came with chain handles but now that I have an SS Yoke coming I came back to this video. Also, I was browsing Rogue’s site and saw the knurled Nunchuck Handles so I’m gonna have to get those to use with the eye bolts. My wallet thanks you.
Love to hear it, my friend 😁. Enjoy the new bar!
That intro graphic is So Fresh and So Clean!
Haha, thanks bud!
Watching your videos has made me want to rebuild my entire home gym.....even though I just built it a couple years ago. Haha!
Haha! It’s a never-ending journey.
Best
Best home gym UA-camr in the game, no question.
Thanks for the kind words, Chris!
Reminds me of the bells of steel SS3 that’s comes with chain handles.
See the end of the video, haha
@@GarageGymLab yep. I was like well there it is lol
If your in the Uk I’ve got the SSB from Cerberus it’s pretty much the same as the bells of steel bar with the 3 sets of handles nice bit of kit.
Fantastic tip. Love my titan v2 and I do tend to push up when i start to fatigue.
Thanks bud! Keep in mind the Titan actually is a little thinner. I will update in description. I believe around 5/8” vs 3/4”.
We just use a regular Olympic bar and attach some wrist straps and use those for the handles.
Thanks. Plan on getting one soon and need tips on how to use effectively
Definitely review the SSB 3.0 from BoS. None of the top tier reviewers on YT have reviewed it yet.
^This
Preordered it for march 1st, they said the adding has been improved from previous versions
@@aba192 how is the new one
@@walterwhite1189 feels pretty darn good, cant compare to others since I only had access to a gym generic pos that barely had pads at all, but fron watching all the reviews it seems fairly similar to the Titan one, pad is firm but comfortable, camber angle is good, only thing is the camber drops less than other bars, it spans out a bit further instead
Love your videos, very informative and easy to digest for a newbie. Much appreciated! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words, Salman! Glad you’re finding them helpful.
Wow great tip man!
Thanks, brother!
I bought these eyebolts for my yoke bar but they don't work on my titan ssb
Can the bells of steel bar handles be used with the elitefts and titan bars
Just got my SS3 in from BoS last week. Worth the wait and every penny. You are correct, the chain handles are no joke. Spin is ok, but doesn't need to be great for this type of bar. The pad is better than the v2 IMO, it feels more dense.
Awesome, Robert! Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re liking it.
When did you order? Just bought the march 1st preorder, but wouldnt. Mind getting it before then, thx
@@aba192 I ordered mine April or may of 2020 when they first announced it. If you order make sure you order straight from bells of Steel. I ordered through a third party distributor and BoS was taking care of direct orders before their other distributors, that's what took mine so long.
@@robertspence1356 ah gotcha, I did buy direct right after they emailed subscribers about the march 1 preorder of racks and bars, fingers crossed there won't be any delays lol.. I'm a little skeptical of the usefulness of the 'spider' handles, have you found them useful yet?
@@aba192 I have a client that just had elbow surgery and can't bend his elbows up to the regular or chain handles. Otherwise, not so much.
This is great. I have the same bar and I’m wondering if it fits on a horizontal wall mount with the thick padding.
Thanks. When you push up on the handles, don't you just push the weight and hence make it more like a front squat, with more emphasis on the quads? Isn't it just a matter of what you want to focus on - quads or upper back?
i know your comment is super old but yes. pushing up makes it more like a front squat which is not wrong, just a different variation
@@MrYokyScape no worries, it's still relevant 😀
About time for another video! Just kidding lol. I always thought the appeal for a SSB was for those with shoulder pain but I'm seeing some benefits for the upper back as well. May have to try it out.
No doubt. Great bar.
That home gym!!!!!
How can I purchase something like this without having to buy the whole bar? I just want and need the attachment due to shoulder discomfort when trying to grip the bar.
You can try the top squat from Sorinex, but you won’t get the camber effect of a proper safety squat bar.
Titan is M18 or M20 for the SSBV2? I have read ppl using both options which obvously isn't correct.
Can you post the link for the exact eye bolt M20 needed for the Titan SSB?
Did you find it? I want to do this with my Titan SSB
How are you hanging your tablet on the rack 😁
It's a magnetic mount from Mob Armor
Awesome hacks!
How do you cheat if you push up on the handles. Maybe on the upper back part bit legs still have to lift same weight. Plus you put weight in front sou you can be more upright like in high bar squat.
A primary component of the SSB is the upper back part, so pushing up on the handle removes much of the demand in that respect. Still can be hard, but it cheats the overall purpose of the SSB
Do safety squat bars take a lot of pressure off the spine in general? Is this a better option for newbie old guys trying to get stronger?(squat wise)
As an older lifter I’d suggest front squats as this method has scientific backing for decreasing the damage for our knees and spine.
For anyone with a Titan bar the bolt size is different . Its a M20. I learned the hard way.
Thanks for sharing, bud. I’ll update the description. Sorry if it caused you trouble!
@@GarageGymLab Thank you for your tips, great channel.
@@jobaci thanks, bud. Appreciate the kind words.
@@GarageGymLab So don't get the one in your description? Which one would fit the titan ssb v2?
@jobaci can you send me a link to where you bought yours?
Is this the best ssb on the market in your opinion? Trying to decide between this guy and kabuki transformer. Thanks!
I think it’s the best traditional SSB. No doubt the transformer is more versatile though.
@@GarageGymLab sweet. Well. Here comes the 3 month wait. Ordered kabuki just a bit ago. Thanks for the information brother. Look forward to more vids. Stay blessed brother. 💪🏻
Adam, is the Titan ssb 3/4 as well brother?
Hey bud. It’s actually a little thinner. I think 5/8”
@@GarageGymLab cool, thanks for answering brother...
U R awesome bro 👏
Appreciate you, Wajid!
I’m a sadistic fuck so I always pull down on the handles when I get stuck. Punish myself for my weakness.
Great idea for a DIY fix!

Yes sir!
I do not necessarily agree with this. To further explain myself we would never suggest to make your bench harder to place the barbell on your neck & to make the deadlift more difficult keep the barbell further away from your shins. All of our bodies are NOT the same therefor it makes no sense to suggest making something more difficult. It is all about leverages. Other vantagepoint I see is; we wouldn't tell a construction worker it is cheating to use a crowbar with their hand further away from the thing they were prying open or apart and suggest for the to shorten the distance of the bar to make their job more difficult. to be in balanced with something does not make it cheating and to suggest being out of alignment will and may cause injury. Furthermore, I purpose stating this is the way to cause you back and legs to get stronger but to outright call someone a cheater when they just want to use something the way they feel fit it is up to them not up to the ideals for a limiting source that is mainly inclusive. That is my take on it and my two cents worth.
Why are you getting into the bar backwards? Very unsafe. Good content but really unsafe.
Only for the video. When I’m lifting actual weight I don’t do this.
