Ah yes, another question from me 😎 thanks lads. Personally I tend to use it quite frequently because of my shoulders needing rest from all the pressing. Makes sense guys, thank you!
My man out there prioritizing them delts above everything else. Respect.
The Rasputin of Sikastan?
Omni-man needing rest? lies
Bald Omni-Man really working himself into the Sika Strength lore lately
Can't wait to see how this storyline develops
I recommend the coahulla iron belt squat personally. You can get ATG very easily. Blast 140 kg for high reps on it weekly! Like you said they’re like free squat stimulus
I recently tried SSB squats due to a shoulder injury and was surprised with how comfortable it felt and how narrow a stance I could use. Really fired up the quads. Have also used the Hack Squat and that’s also been a great option until I can do barbell squats again.
100% agree. Interesting to hear your thoughts on Hatfield squats which also use the Safety Bar. Also as you guys hold the Belt Squat in high regard it would be good to listen to your thoughts on. the execution of this exercise.......as I believe that it is a movement that is often "butcherd" despite its relative simplicity.
I'm curious about your thoughts on the axle bar and other thick grip implements.
Safety bar split squat is goated
Nice! I personally do very well with low bar and front squats. It’s hard for me to get full ROM with high Bar squats unless I compensate somewhere. I can front squat about 80% of my back squat. Should I still try to push high bar?
Yeah I'm using a SSB for pretty much all my squat work at the moment, because of exactly what you guys said at the start, poor shoulder mobility, and okay it's fine for a bit, but I'm running a 20 rep program and yeah it was just destroying my arms. There are definitely pros and cons to using the bar, it's definitely way harder to use on the upper back, I think, when compared to a straight bar, but yeah I'm enjoying using it. I'd love to be able to use a belt squat, but yeah I mean, I just don't have one at my home gym. I've thought again getting the IronMind hip circle but... Yeah, I dunno'. I will say, Brian from Never Sate has a lot of good things to say about the SSB, even saying a lot of strongmen entirely use the SSB for their squats (whether or not that holds true now, I can't say). Great video, anyway lads.
How about good practices to maintain ankle-foot integrity for heavier individuals? Struggled with a bit in the past and found my own solutions but might be good for heavier athletes (rugby, PL, throws) if they've put on or will be putting on a lot of weight
GMAB stick to the shoe reviews guys. Tell guys like Brian Shaw that this is just for injured people. Pretty sure hed laugh in your face
Hi lads, when doing regular training, for volume do you recommend 70-80% 1RM for sets to build capacity (traditional 5x5) or is the tapering method better say 5 reps at 70%, 3 reps at 80% and 1 rep at 90% and then an AMRAP of 80-85%? And do they differ depending the goals? Capacity vs strength retention/build?
thoughts on the pit shark? they've got one in the gym i train at
I switched to SSB after horrendous biceps tendinitis. Switched back to a regular bar when I started the 8 week squat program. Said fuck it, work through the pain but luckily the tendinitis hasn’t returned.
Gotta wish for that belt squat for next christmas
Is there any benefit of non vertical pressing for weightlifting?
What kind of rows or accessory work would you prescribe for an athlete with an upper back that tends to round in the squat or front squat?
Asking for a friend.
For front squats Gurph recommended in another video heavy barbell rows from below the knee. So no letting the bar rest on the ground between reps. From personal experience I can vouch for just squatting more and being extra mindful of that back position. I do like pause squats too.
I definitely prefer linking up plates to my own belt when doing belt squats rather than use the machine.
Hey Lads how would you set up a poor man's belt squat?
Only way to do it without a machine is to elevate your feet on boxes, at least 1’ off the ground, put a sturdy chair(or 18” box)between the boxes, place the weights(ideally with a loading pin) onto the chair, connect the weights to a dip belt, stand up with the weights, remove the chair, squat, place the chair back to receive the weights when you’re done. If the dip belt you have bites into your thighs, cut out a section of pool noodle, wrap the chain with thick rubber, leather, etc.
My gym got a Pit Shark a couple of years back and it ended up being a huge disappointment as far as replicating a free weight squat without the axial loading, at least for me (might work if you’re trying to squat like you’re wearing a suit, ATG… not so much).
Belt squats as the alternative ftw
Comment for the algo
need some sika merch lads
"more erect and rigid, more better"
Ah yes, the Sikastan national motto. Magis erectus et rigidior, melior!
Trap bar I could deadlift 70kg when I started and 140 deadlift with regular barbell...Something about trap-bar that wrecks your lower back and tires it out soooo much quicker than a regular deadlift and harder to brace and get through the sticking point well. I dont recommend it.
i'd love to see a video of you doing both.. due to the weight being directly in line with your center of mass, it seems physically impossible that it should challenge your posterior chain more than conventional where the weight is in front of you.
@@FistfulOfGabagool now that you clearly implied im lying i am sure you will get a video from me lol get lost keyboard warrior lol
@@FistfulOfGabagool and by the way, i think its due to the fact that trap bar deadlift is less stable and is much harder to yank and brace into properly and then when you start to pull, for the same reason, it makes it much harder to push your legs and lower body into the lift without making it swing in your hands and this is what produces the effect ive spoken of genius. because you have to keep a perfect balance with it, you end up doing backcentric pulls...
@@jaanjam8432 no i don't think you're lying, i think your form is poor. and the fact that you have trouble keeping the bar from swinging back and forth throughout the lift further demonstrates my point.
I can’t relate to this. It’s a more natural position for me
You lads just love your bald omni-man. Should mention more about furries and anime LMAO
No 1 implement will ever be #1. I feel there’s a lot more use in field based sport athletes surrounding safety bar considering you can use them with no hands and do a movement in locomotion or stationary too, that requires more dynamic stabilization of axial loading with your hands in a position that can increase pelvic loading/stability.
However just like anything, it’s got its phases and times for implementation. The most common implementation I’ve seen though is for systematic overloading because of the increased stability of the bar. Seen girls split squat 300+ where with a normal barbell they are lucky to cross 225
Bald man strikes again
Didn’t hear any science in this
