SSB Box Squats with Ave Bands + Chains: (VIDEO Included)

COACHING LOG: This installment of the Monster Garage Gym/Maroscher Coaching Log covers Steve, Mike and Shaun as they continue to train for the APF Senior Nationals. In this coaching log they work with the EliteFTS safety squat bar off a 15” box with both band tension and chains. This SSB is 90LBS and the band tension is 150LBS at the top. Each chain is 22LBS be we have rounded this to 20LBS for simplicity. The point of this particular coaching log is so show how you can have constant band tension on the bar, yet still be able to add weight via plates and chains. Bands and chains do not have to be an either/or proposition. Neither must they be used on the traditional squat bar. ***A quick side note. We at the MGG hope these coaching logs are of value to you.
