The King Branch Warren!!!

Man that SBS sett looked tough. Wonder if he used hands at all to assist during the sett? If not, it's pretty heavy ass weight.

^^ I think he cheated on those.

Can someone give me information on that shoulder/trap squat pad?? i have major issues gripping the bar properly when i do squats, this tool would save my life.

 

[Konan]

It's called Safety Squat Bar or Hatfield Bar, I think...

Safety squat bar, as others have pointed out. They aren't the same as a standard squat as the weights are in a different position. I've got mine on order (arrives at the end of the month) and I had always intended it to be an accessory exercise.

It really KILLS thighs when done without helping with your arms. Throw your ego in the corner and start getting some gains!

He's right about the Hatfield squat
I prefer the safety bar squat over regular squat, it's much easier on my elbows and shoulders, and over all it just feels more natural to squat with.

Wow, I've never seen one of those bars before, using one would save me a lot of shoulder pain..

why do so many people have shoulder pain holding a bar for a squat ? :S

Lack of mobility and fucked up shoulders from benching.

lol, ya sums it up. I would add in previous injuries not just from benching.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

I had a lot of shoulder troubles many years ago but i squatted fine up until i was squatting twice a week and benching twice a week, i started having mobility issues.

You do incline bench press one day and flat bench press another, or? If you doing regular bench twice a week, I suggest you switch another bench press session to some other pressing movement to save your joints. You know, pressing different range of motion wears your joints different, which results in healthier joints, because you aren't wearing your joints in the same way twice a week. You get what I am trying to say? I know I might be little unclear because I am not native english speaker.

Yeah, terrible english... jk you make perfect sense, at the time i was only doing flat bench. Thanks for the advice.

i guess ive been lucky, i bench at least 2 times a week and have done for past 18 months not one shoulder problem and I used to play rugby.
