It was my husband’s addition to our gym. My addition was an 18 lb training bar so I could do Military press. The regular bar is too heavy for me to do most sets. So I doubt I will need a safety bar with the weight I am able to move. Lol
Edit: In my defense, I’m still stronger than like 95% of the women I know.
I do identify as a warrior princess.
Also, I loved that show.
Whatever it takes to keep squatting. Try to include belt squats too for heavy work.
Well… i could continue squatting with the Buffalo bar if I wanted.
But at this point a compromise is in order. Basically , the need to manage the inderect wear and tear on the shoulders .
Plus i get good carryover with the Ssbar.
I’ve been having success rotating between the bars per training phase. I love what the buffalo bar does for me, but not what it does TO me.
Lol… the real benefit for me is that it offers me a little more room to spread my hands out. Thanks to the additional bar length.
Ssbar squats: 70% x 3
80% x 3
90% x 3plus…. 8
3x8@ 70%
reverse lunges with pendulum squat: 3 x 10
Reverse hypers: 4 x 10
Straight leg sit ups: 50 total… Probably should have added weight.
Well I cooked the lower half.
That’s what we like to see.
I still roll my eyes still when I come across some independent article or video covering 5/3/1.
First thought is…. Yep the Arthur never read any of the fucking books.
I still love how these folks always WANT 5/3/1 to just be one set of 5, 3 or 1 reps because that strawman helps them tear it down. Whenever they find out there is more to it than that, suddenly THEY become defenders of the “one true 5/3/1”
Allot of these guys are becoming pure entertainment for myself.
Just the level of talking out their ass is a thing of beauty for me.
I came across one guy giving it a positive review but he mentioned ways you could improve it. His solution was a few back off sets on the main lifts for extra volume.
I almost pissed my pants laughing. I was thinking “ oh my God, thats groudbreaking!”
It’s a tried-and-true program, if a person stays with it.
Halloween, Friday night, no kids to take care of. So obviously I’m going to bed early so I can squat in the morning. 23 year old me would be so disgusted with 46 year old me.
100% true… these indviduals online who tear it down either.
Not me my “ partner” had a whoops at 42 and had a daughter. So guess who went out trick or treating last night.
Awwww. That’s awesome! I miss trick or treating with my guys. They were so cute! I used to dress up and everything. This year I didn’t even put up decorations. Lame.
I could have taken it or leave it.
