I've tried every width and grip known to man and have seen different SSCs to try to make it work (and I appreciated Dr. Stef's article a few months back), but it just doesn't work. I also can't rack a press or power clean.
Any thoughts on the belt squat or GHD to make up for the lost glute work as a medium or light day? It is a huge short coming of the SSB. I was using a transformer bar up until 6 months ago, which better mimicked the low bar squat, but I had to switch to an SSB because I'm at a different gym.
Thank you again.
