  • Moderately common bar found in gyms
  • Contrary to popular belief this bar has many uses. You can do a bent over row to train your lats (large muscles of the back), pushups (chest), squats, stagger stance RDLs, RDLs, pushpresses, and a host of others.
Most commonly this bar is used for the squats/deadlifts and why not?! The Benefits of doing so are:
  • Less stress to the lower back than a Deadlift (since weight is held at the side)
  • Less pressure on the top of the shoulders, and less concern with balance than the traditional barbell squat (since you holding the weight to the side)
  • Is a good exercise to progress to from the suitcase squat as typically this bar allows you to load greater weight
