Squat variations: Front handle squat!
Squats are the movements that every athlete or fitness enthusiast should do. It can help you improve your strength and muscles, improve your figure, and improve your sports performance! In the gym, putting on a bar piece, carrying a barbell, and then having a strong squat is a very cool thing
There are many variations in squats, different equipment and different practices, and different experiences. Common goblet squats, barbell front squats, back squats (high bars and low bars), hexagonal barbell squats, etc.
But not everyone can adapt to barbell squats. There is a group of people who want to carry barbells with their backs It is difficult for them to "not" their arms on the barbell bar. Even if they hold them very wide, they can withstand the barbell, but they are also very unnatural! It is not suitable for people to practice barbell squats. If you have the above problems when performing back squat lifts, maybe you can try another way to replace the traditional back squat lift!
Front handle squat:
Many physical training centers abroad are equipped with special squat bars (SSB bars below), and safety bars with two handles in front
The benefits of SSB bars:
For people with poor shoulder mobility and unable to perform back squat lifts, their hands can be held comfortably directly Squats are performed directly on the grip of the SSB bar, and will not be limited by shoulder mobility or shoulder discomfort.
2. The position of the SSB bar is closer to the center of gravity of the body or on the center of gravity of the body, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the lower back (such as shear force), and exercise more hips and lower limbs.
3. The SSB bar allows you to perform grip-style movements and bear greater loads
Although the SSB bar is a very good squat choice, it is very rare in the gym. What should you do?
You can try using pulling force to simulate the movements of the SSB bar (demonstration below)
