Reinventing The Wheel

Other than that it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that the mechanics here would be basically identical.

Does everyone have access to an SSB? No, but it's an invaluable piece of equipment and it only costs a few hundred bucks. I have the Titan Fitness SSB and it's amazing. Great bar for a very good price and I highly recommend it.

Plus not everyone has access to a trap bar either.

But performing weird antics by taking pieces of equipment and removing them so far from their intended usage does not make for better exercises, especially when a piece of equipment designed to accomplish that task in an optimal fashion already exists.

Bashing a nail into the wall with your power drill doesn't make you cool. It just makes you an asshole that broke an expensive drill. There's a hammer right there, dude.

I don't agree with Mark Rippetoe that the trap bar belongs in the trash. But this exercise bastardizing it certainly does! 🗑👎 Joel the Troll strikes again. The madness never ends.

Or simply grab one of my training programs! The feedback that I have gotten from these programs since their release over the last 2 years has been nothing short of immense. With my templates you will both make great gains as well as learn the ins and outs of proper programming for yourself. They're much more than just generic training programs. They're basically re-usable teaching manuals that give you all the gains while teaching you how to program for yourself along the way. And with your continued support I will be able to keep my website ad free and keep pumping out high quality fitness content!

Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate ya.
