Paused Low Bar Squat

- Wanted 2, but not comfortable enough low bar squatting with straps. Also first rep was tough.
- 440 x 4 * PR
- Wanted 5, but 4 is still a PR.
Very impressive. Please, can you say what you are using for the straps? I have had shoulder surgery and can no longer grip the bar for squats. I use a Yoke Bar at home, but need a way to squat when I’m at a gym. Thank you.
They’re straps shaped like the number 8. I only did this once for low bar squats. It’s really not stable enough.
Straps work better with high bar squats, which makes it like a poor man’s safety squat bar.
Max Aita has some videos on youtube of him squatting with straps with a huge amount of weight (high bar squat): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO3rv5vHy00
Thank you!
