danbaseley said:Try squatting with your hands in the gunslinger position - i.e. by your sides - on the SSB. Really hits your legs, upper back and core like nothing else. Had a go at these after my heavy set today. Definitely makes you find a better position at the bottom, usually i end up pulling down on the handles and using my back quite a bit when i begin to struggle. | |||

Post Edited: 27.02.2020 @ 09:27 AM by DeanW92 Wednesday 26thDeadlifts 260xf 260x1 200 6x5 SLDL 200x5 Very disappointed with today after last weeks deadlifts feeling so good. On the 260 it felt like it was glued to the floor, even on the successful attempt i got pulled way out of position at the start of the lift with the bar drifting which made things much harder, possibly not recovered from yesterday either. | |||

| Interesting, i would say i definitely fit the long femur body type, i struggle a lot with squatting compared to benching and deadlifting, not being able to lowbar squat probably doesn't help but it has always felt too awkward. I would say my back squat and ssb squats are within 10kg of each other after having spent maybe 6-8 weeks with a ssb. | |||

| Saturday 22nd feb SSB squats 110kg 5x8 paused reps 150 2x8 These felt pretty good today, enjoying using the squat safety bar, tempting at the moment to ditch regular squats for this strength phase and focus on my deadlift for the first time in a few years. | |||

| Wednesday Deadlifts 240x1 250 2x1 180 3x5 Deadlifts feeling pretty good at this stage compared to the other lifts bit a lower bodyweight usually affects deadlifts the least, still perfecting form though. The sharp knurling on this deadlift bar is killing my hands though, tore a callus for the first time in ages | |||

| Been using a SSB in my training since just after christmas, doing back squats once a week and SSB squats on a different day, it seems like my numbers are very close but I'm not sure why. Just wondering how other peoples numbers compare between the two variations? I usually have a high bar placement when squatting as i struggle to get the bar lower down my back without killing my elbows and my squat has always been my worst lift so maybe this has something to do with it. | |||

Post Edited: 19.02.2020 @ 08:21 AM by DeanW92 Tuesday 18thSquats 180 2x3 150 3x5 Lowbar squats 150x5 120 2x5 Weights feel heavy on my back at the moment and feel like they are moving very slow, only deadlifts so far have felt ok but hopefully its just getting used to the higher loads. Managed to get into a decent lowbar position, need to work more on mobility and technique to avoid bar roll | |||
