Learn the bar that makes your deadlift and squat carry over.
The cambered bar can be a game-changer if you use it right. Done wrong, you might still get strong, but you won’t see the carryover to your deadlift and free squat.
Here’s how to set up:
✔ Pick the bar up right. Don’t shove your head under and dump it forward. Stay tall: eyes up, chest through, high bar position. Imagine plexiglass in front of you—you can’t lean forward into it.
✔ Lock in your lats. Hands don’t push the bar forward—they pull it in tight. This keeps your upper body locked down.
✔ On the box squat: Stay upright. Knees out, lats tight. Pretend there’s a magazine under your armpit that you can’t drop.
Why it matters: This bar forces stability. It’ll help you control heavy weights, keep your posture right, and build strength that carries over where it counts—your deadlift and squat.
