At first I thought they were 25KG plates and thought 'we're in for a treat here watching you lift those weights' 😂 Already have this bar and it's one of my favs!
Do you ever find it usual as a safety squat bar? I’m trying to decide if this extra feature is worth paying more for this trap bar (Eleiko Or Vulcan ones). Otherwise might consider something like a bells of steel open bar and a titan/elitefts safety squat bar instead.
It is definitely unusual, but as we mentioned, it can be used as one. Obviously if you get SSB specialty bar you know that's what it's designed for, but nothing else.
Sorry I meant useful but autocorrect changed the word. I meant do you find it useful as a safety squat bar? I'm really trying to decide if this is good enough to take the place of a SSB and trap bar combo in one.
Whether it's useful is up to the individual. Maybe what you're asking is whether it is good enough as a SSB? If you need a SSB to do specific SSB workout, then get a SSB because it's designed for it. The Oppen bar CAN be used as a SSB, but it might not be optimum for an SSB.
Great video, you explained it clearly and did your best to demonstrate.
Thank you!
Excellent demo
Thanks!!
Very good, thoughtful review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Also Zercher squats and hammer barbell curls.

They look like 25kg plates but clearly say 2.5kg. Hmm...
