Buffalo Bar

[konkoba98]

I get that elbow-bicep-shoulder pain from squatting. I've tried working around it for a couple years but it regularly ruins training. I came across a Wendler article on 6 specialty bars he recommends.

Regarding the Buffalo Bar he says it is ideal for injured shoulders and poor flexibility and allows for the same technique and setup... a BB squat = a straight bar squat.

If accurate, that seems to be the hands down winner compared to hbbs, front sq, safety squat bar, etc.

Any experience or advice? Thanks in advance.

I have never used one nor coached people on one. Those who have may chime in.
