One Question that often being asked in the gym is, what is the benefit of SAFETY SQUAT BAR? 🏋♂️
The benefit of SSB is:
- To Improve Core Stability while performing Squatting Movement.
It is often that a general gym user has neglected the use of core strength while performing any form of Big 3 Movement which is Squat, Bench and Deadlift.
- Using SSB will also assist with minimising the stress on Knee Or Hip Joint as the Camber Angle are designed to be Squatting more on an upright angle
- Last but not least, because the Camber lever are design to be Squatting on an upright angle, it will also minimise the Stress on Lower back which is often general users tend to have an issue with.
The purpose of SSB being design is to assist a personal who has issue with Shoulder Mobility. Liam, as shown in the video had an incident few years ago which stops him from being able to squat on a normal straight bar, but SSB enable to get him to squat again.
Some other exercises that you can do on a SSB is:
- Box Squat
- Good Mornings
- Lunges
- Cossac Squat or Lateral Lunges
It is rare that this specific equipment will be found in a commercial gym. BUT! If you do manage get your hands on them. Make sure you give them a try!
