I just did 😂

Got mine. Been trying to get one for years and bit the bullet. Worth every penny.

man I hope my wife and I still can say we're squatting at 65, inspiration right there

Yeah... Yoke carries have been a reply for me... Great bar

How do you do carries on it? Sorry if it’s a dumb question

​@@luisperera1127 To do carries with the SSB you can flip it around and hold it like you would in a SSB Front Squat so the weight is in front of you like some type of strongman front carry (similar to Zercher carries etc.), which is excellent for wrestling/grappling in general. SSB lunge walks are great as well. Loading it really heavy on your back and walking with it is another issue though...when I first competed in strongman I thought walking with a heavy bar on my back is an OK idea to substitute as a yoke walk but quickly was informed by way more experienced guys that if anything awkward happens or you trip you would just fall with the barbell on you which can be dangerous. It might be on a video with Brian Alsruhe but as an alternative when trying to mimic strongman yoke walk with any type of bar is to use chains that hangs near the floor and hook plates up that way. (Sorry this is a bad description, better dug up the video instead) That way if you do have to dump the weight the plate will touch the floor right away and nothing (hopefully) will come crashing down on you except having an empty bar on your back. The weight also waves around a bit which helps improve your stability as well. Just my experience with it, others experiences may vary, old comment but hope it helps.

Or better get his heart checked out. Apparent short of breath while speaking can be a sign of underlying medical issues.

powerlifters…DO YOUR CARDIO!!!

I believe he announced this year they were going to start a UK specific store. I bet if you paid an assload of shipping he'd send it right now.

It's basically a front squat lol.

The part that rests on your back

i dont go past 185 (or 205 if bar weight is considered) and just put a one minute timer on. I am still sore every week since doing them. its well over 20 reps but I am jsut trying to squeeze the shit out of my upperback/scaps. im 250 pounds. when I am not sore I will move it to 2 plates. only been doing for 2 weeks though

@@baconblaster6422 Thanks. I've been doing that with about 205. Works great.

Since the weight is angled to the front and away from you, it's basically a front squat without as much mobility needed.

Everyone has different struggles, no?

@@carlgibson7850 Dude has one of the best gyms in the world. Not a lot of excuses for being out of shape. lol

@@Ainttrippin Fitness and nutrition are different beasts. Having access to a great gym doesn't necessarily translate into being 'in shape' as eating healthy is an entirely separate challenge. Not to mention what respiratory issues he could be combating.

@@carlgibson7850 Dave Tate has every resource in the world to be in shape, regardless of his condition. Elitefts has the best lifters, athletes, coaches, nutritionists putting out content every week. If being physically fit isn't on his priorities right now, that's fine...but let's not pretend that it isn't an active choice he's making.

@@Ainttrippin I agree with you, mostly, that's why I said everyone has different struggles. Just like you and I have things we should be doing better at, but don't. I can see this argument as frivolous, sure. However, I also thinks it's an important thing to understand. Simply seeing someone's flaws and pointing them out without self awareness or a macro understanding of the flaw doesn't lead to anything constructive.
