The beauty that is Powerlifting

Give it a Read and let me know what you think!

That’s a great question! Some people think it’s just a option for people with poor shoulder mobility 😅The way it’s designed to load, think of squatting like super SUPER high bar. So, it’s going to want to make you go forward, fold in, hunch, whatever way you want to say it so you need to make sure your core is 100% engaged! (If you’re squatting to a box then especially coming off the box) Also there’s a slight camber to it, so it causes even MORE instability so again you need to make sure your core is braced and sturdy. This is a bar I use for people who tend to fold in, it will show you that if you’re doing it correctly and it’s still folding you in, you need to work on core strength. People will start to really notice up around 85-90% of their 1RM. Great question!

Anyone have any questions?! ASK

Awww thank you!!! I’ll take a lifting partner any day so I’m down!
