Front squat harness

[Pseudonym]

Oooh. Lookie... Has anyone tried these? http://www.prowriststraps.com/front_squat_harness_bar

And manufactured in NZ, too. I think my gym is going to come under pressure for some new equipment.

waste of $.

you get used to the regular barbell

I dont think I would use one, but I would like to hear what it is like to try.

I agree that you do get used to the barbell after a while, however i think that one of these would be really useful, i wouldnt purchase it myself, but if it were at my gym i would certainly be giving it a go.

Thankfully I have been sponsored one of the GetStrength front squat harnesses and I would have to say that it is an great peice of equipment for both Powerlifters and bodybuilders. The latter would benefit more because of the strictness of form and emphasis on the quads but for me its been a fantastic assist for overall quad maintenance.

I would recommend it ABSOLUTELY for all gyms!! Like many of the old warhorses here, I too was skeptical and just used the BB but this just allows you to take on more weight and gives the old wrists and front delts a break.

They look damn great, I've always avoided front squats due to not being able to hold the bar correctly etc blah blah....

The harness is going to bring some new & needed varity to my leg day & also spur some new quad growth, even better it's made in NZ
