NOT JUST FOR THE SAFETY BAR SQUAT​

You know the Safety Bar 16 squat, but there are many other ways you can use this piece of equipment.
What’s the point of the Safety Bar if we already have barbells? This unique bar allows your spine to stay more neutral and upright. It minimizes shear forces on the lower back and allows you to use a greater range of motion through your hips, knees, and ankles. You’ll actually feel good using a full ROM.
So what else can you do with it besides a standard squat? Lots. Check out these exercises.
