Mimics a high bar squat in a sense. Makes you learn how to stay upright since you feel like you want to shift forward. It also builds your upper back well while taking stress off your shoulders.
OP I personally hate the three pad design. Titan sells a great SSB that is just one solid pad.My training log: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=178464441

Originally designed for lack of shoulder flexibility and ability to fit under a straight bar- this is why I got one.
As far as comparing it- it’s humbling, puts me , resistance wise, a bit better than my front squats but quite a bit less glute activity and almost no low back activity vs feeling of straight bar. Easier on upper back than front squats…
Now pushing up vs pulling down on handles changes the feeling as well…
It puts you a bit more upright, more closely resembles a front squat as the shape of the bar puts the weight in a different spot than back squats. Super comfortable for me and you can see, I can get deeper with my torso a bit higher, I still need to open my ankle joint with the 25 lb plates, I have zero flexibility there.
The in and out quick fit, easy walk out, easy walk back makes it nice HOWEVER the plates do slide around easy on my cheap bar so Im using cords to hug up those plates.
There are much more expensive bars, I got mine for 179 bucks and I’m loving it.Last edited by coachcalande; 05-09-2022 at 08:06 AM.

In effect, its a shoulder/elbow/wrist friendly pseudo front squat that you can actually fight without dumping it forward off your delts.
Personally i love mine, its not as good for a pure leg developer as a highbar, but who cares about that...
thats why you do leg exts to max the quads out
AMAZING for goodmornings and box squats with band or chain too!
its just a great piece of kit IF you get a stiff quality bar that doesnt have really wide spaced handles like the ****ty titan ssb 1.0... just melt that down.FMH crew - Couch.

If you have shoulder issues and can cope with the humbling experience of lighter squats, I highly recommend the ssb experience."A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
