That's an nice bar but my gym doesn't have one. Bet that rack is all yours whenever you go to the gym lol.
At my gym the benchers steal all the plates from the 4 squat racks...go figure!

We only have the one power rack. Nobody really squats though. In my 3+ years of going to this gym at all different times I think I've had to wait on the rack maybe three times.

That's an awesome bar.

That’s the one bar we don’t have. We’ve got yoke bars, deadlift bars, squat bars, 2 power racks, a mono lift, 3 forza benches and no fucking duffalo bar. WTH! Guess I’m going to do like Perrin and buy my own!

Duffalo bar is awesome. Saves shoulders and elbows without changing squat mechanics.

Just pulled in my driveway from getting off work right as this was being delivered. Shipping was shockingly fast. Ordered over the weekend and delivered Wednesday afternoon.

Gonna try it out tomorrow. Will replace my beltless high bar squat 3x8 with SSB 3x8 and get a feel for it.
Awesome man!
You're not too far from Elite. I would get stuff the next day, but I was also pretty close to them. Keep us posted brother

You will love it. Great investment. I have seen many get tremendous carry over from the SSB into their deadlift.

@Perrin Aybara you liking the face pulls with bench? I skipped them today until the heavier sets and wish I did them all. What do they even accomplish in relation to flat bench help?

For me any type of horizontal abduction with bench or before a bench session helps get the rotators warmed up. I've done a full back workout then but my bench session in the past. To be when I do the rowing prior to benching I've had some great bench sessions.

What is your take on the SSB?
Perrin Aybara
Master
I'm just trying to keep pain free while I work my bench back up to where it was. I feel like it helps.
I like it. After reading stuff online I was expecting it to be really hard compared to a regular bar squat, but I don't think I'm really much weaker with it. I'm planning on trying some good mornings with it and some pin squats mimicking sumo deadlift starting position.

Might even program a training block or two with SSB as my main squat movement.

I won't do good mornings with any other bar.

Comp deadlift 550x2, 580x1, 615x1 PR, 525x2, 525x2, 525x2, 525x2
Slingshot bench 325lbs for 5x5
SSB good mornings 165x8, 165x8, 185x8, 215x8, 215x8
Chest supported rows 3x20
Hamstring curls 3x20
Deadlift was supposed to be doubles today. 550x2 went up like a warm up, then on 580 I tried pulling from a different spot on the platform because there's all kinds of dips and grooves in it and the bar rolled away from me, so I stopped at one rep. It was still fast though. Then just overshot it chasing numbers and pulled 615x1 and didn't try a second rep. Technically a PR, but I shouldn't have went for that much and just pulled 600ish for 2.
Considering doing a push/pull meet next month that's close to home. Not really do much for training for it except pull some triples two weeks out and deload the week of. Shoot for 1000lbs total
